Wow we almost had the same experience with therapists!

I don’t think I’ve ever experience having a good therapist. I had therapists wanting to use me as a therapist and expressing their own personal life with me, which of course made me felt worse then I originally came into their office. I had therapists who didn’t show me any gratitude and didn’t have the passion to want to help me. They obviously just wanted to collect from my insurance company.

I had worse psychiatrists. All of them that I’ve ever encountered were pill pushers who didn’t know how else to treat me other then polluting my body with dangerous mind controlling drugs that I didn’t really need. All of the psychiatrists that I’ve seen didn’t want to hear my problems, most of them actually told me to take it up to my therapist. They even check their watches! I found that most offensive as I came to them for help and all they could do is look at their watches to see if the time is up. This one psychiatrist in particular that I was seeing supposedly was thrown out of a private psychiatric hospital. He opens up his own office, which he wasn’t getting other new patients. I was his patient since his new office for about a month; it was more like the long distance. Amazing currently he’s a professor at Department of Psychiatry College of Osteopathic Medicine Nova Southeastern University Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. This shrink also gave me very addictive tranquilizers, Xanax / Alparazolam

I’ve basically gave up on both psychology and psychiatry all together.

The best therapy that you can ever receive is in meeting. People who have a drinking problem usually go to an AA meeting to get tools (THE 12TH STEPS) and to use those tools to stay clean.
