Good stuff, but I've learned the hard way that most therapists have no idea what they're doing. If someone is not feeling better after 6-8 sessions, they need to get a new therapist. It's all too easy to get into a codependent relationship with a therapist that only enables the depression or anxiety to persist.
- astura 8y agoI had a therapist that once suggested taking herbs for an non-treatable medical issue and another time antibiotics for a cold. I can't believe I actually paid money to see her.
- lazyasciiart 8y agoI had a therapist once who suggested that my anxiety was the product of excessively high expectations, and I would feel better if I stopped expecting colleagues to do things like tell the truth. I quit therapy, and also quit that job. I felt much better after doing both!
- chris_wot 8y agoSo you essentially stopped having high expectations of your therapist and consequently stopped paying her :-)
- lazyasciiart 8y agoYes, and I suppose if I'd had the option of stopping the company from paying my colleagues I would have been fine with stopping my expectations of them as well :)
- fjsolwmv 8y agoWhy are you discussing a cold or antibiotics with a therapist anyway? They can't prescribe drugs.
- astura 8y agoBecause I had a cold and she noticed and told me to call my doctor to get antibiotics.
