I was told a number of years ago by the receptionist at one of the prestigious mental health clinics here, when I was asking for help (in a tongue-tied way), that this establishment wanted and needed and would only serve clients who were articulate and could serve the needs of the therapists training there. In other words (my words), we were there to serve them, and not the other way around.

It happens.
