Hi Mcl6136,
Yes - oh Gawd, yes - I hope you're wrong, but I think you may be right What is it with my terrible luck with helpers? Is it something I do that brings out the whack in them? Loved your phrase "whack pack," LOL

Or does the therapeutic profession simply attract a higher proportion of nutjobs than other fields?

My DH and I were talking about this the other night. He HATES my Ts, because they've all been asshats. I keep telling him I've FINALLY found one who isn't a jerk, I just know it. And then things progress, and inevitably start to decline, and then my DH turns out to have been right all along.

When I make a new appointment with yet another headshrink, he's all, "This one won't be any different. It's a racket. Don't give your money to these people!"

And it's really OUR money, and I know he's right, and I feel horribly guilty.

But I want to give Birk one more chance!

(sigh) I'll check in again after my Wednesday session.
