Cant afford psychotherapy? Just head to Stockholm,m Sweden, board a cab and you can enjoy the services of a professional psychotherapist for free. The idea was thought up by the owners of Taxi Stockholm who realized that people are more likely to talk about their problems on dull, quiet drives. They even have data to back up the theory; according to spokeswoman Natalia Santos, a study revealed that around 70 percent of people said their taxi journeys were a good time for reflection and that they often found their minds wandering. “And when you think about it, the drivers can even become like therapists,” she added. “So we decided to put the two together for all Stockholmers – especially considering it’s getting so cold and dark now.” Mia Fahlén, one of the psychologists on board, said that she would have to be flexible, because she wouldn’t know exactly how long a trip could be. But she believes that a lot could be accomplished from even a short 10-minute session. Since there are only 3 psychotherapists for hundreds of cabs, stumbling into the right one is almost impossible. However, interested clients can call Taxi Stockholm and book a ride in advance. odditycentral/news/swedish-taxi-service-offers-free-psychotherapy-for-passengers.html
