1 couch: A "couch" is a sofa, a piece of furniture typically used for sitting. They are often found in living rooms and in the office of a psychologist.
2 mind: The term "mind" literally refers to the brain or head of a person. Donna uses the term idiomatically both in this exercise as well as in her dialogue with Philip. Here she asks him "What's on your mind?" which is a question equivalent to "what are you thinking?", "What's wrong". We often ask this question after someone has requested to speak with you. Example: -I need to speak to you Bruno. -Sure Luna, what's on your mind?
3 pattern: A "pattern" is a recurring trend, theme or motif. It could be a color or shape pattern on a piece of clothing or a trend in the weather, or a behavior pattern. In the dialogue between Philip and Donna, Donna tells Philip that she recognizes a "pattern" in Philip's perception of the inkblot tests: he sees women in each one.
