I had a therapist who really was crazier than me once.

He kept going on about how feminism ruined his first marriage and the evils of Soviet Communism. Then he tried to get me to sell cleaning products in a pyramid scheme.

I wish I was making this up, but I’m not that creative.

psychiatrists are terrible therapists (and usually socially retarded). they’re not trained in therapy – only assessment and diagnosis and medication management. ask him which treatment modality he uses … i bet he doesn’t have one. clinical psychologists and clinical social workers (most) are better for therapy as they’ve received training and supervision around this. a real therapist wouldn’t let you go weeks/months between appts (unless it’s booster and maintenance after some intensive work). you’re either engaged in therapy or not.

i’m just saying this because so many people have bad experiences with psychiatrists or with therapists who aren’t good fits and they write off therapy altogether. you should be discovering something new about yourself in every session. sometimes it only takes one session. and yeah, i’m rambling and i’m biased ’cause i work in mental health and deal with these professionals every day and all day.

Isn’t a Dr. who prescribes meds (psychiatrist)much different than a therapist? My experience is the meds Doc just wants a quick summation only to see if the drugs are effective, balanced, etc. whereas a psychologist will go into your deep dark life with you and at some point refer you to the other (medication) doc. Either way it’s good to go.

Atleast you GO Raymi. I have only done phone interviews… then they say “come to this place where you don’t know where it is to sit down and chat.”

I say “sure.” Then I don’t go.

Agoraphobia is such a piece of shit.

I have friends that say they’d go with me… wouldn’t that be a hoot. Ugh.

your therapist sounds like one who doesn’t challenge enough
Very hard to find a good one

Sometimes therapists have more problems then their patients
which leads to patient/shrink failure

It would be nice to find more available shrinks on the market
who don’t need therapy themselves

just saying from experience

and hope your next appointment is more real and fruitful

or its time to find a better fit
