A man is sitting in a chair writing. A woman has dug up the floor.
Most floors are wood or stone so she shouldn't be able to make a hole.
Where is she digging to?
During next week's session, we'll have you paint yourself into a corner.

To "dig yourself into a hole" (literally depicted) is an idiom that has the same meaning as "paint yourself into a corner": to put yourself in a difficult situation. Either the patient does this during sessions because of emotional problems, or the therapist prescribes literal idioms: either way, the idea of this sort of therapy session is funny.
