Thread Name: BS: Is there a Therapist/Psychiatrist here?
Subject: RE: BS: Is there a Therapist/Psychiatrist here?
Like I said..... ;-) "therpist" Yeah, ha! "the rapist"? Maybe.
What makes you think that another person whom you pay big bucks to so you can talk all about your personal stuff is any more dependable in knowing what to do about it than you are? They might be less dependable than you. They might have hangups you don't have. Undependable and totally weird people can pass university courses and get a degree you know.
Freud had a hangup about sex. He was really fucked, you might say, but I don't mean that literally. Jung had ideas of his own. Others have followed. They all see the World in their own strange way, and what makes them the authority over you?

I may be going way wide of the mark in this case, though, so if I am, just ignore me, Sorcha. Hey, what do I know? I could've been a therapist too, but the idea didn't attract me much. It sounds like a cool way to make an upscale living, though, talking to people...and getting paid for it. Wow! I wonder why Dylan did not become a therapist? It must have been very tempting, back in those lean Greenwich Village days... ;-)
