A therapist sits in a chair in their office. They are holding a pen and notepad and are looking at a woman who is in the middle of digging a hole in the floor.

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.
