Oh no, I get that. It's why I stopped working in mental health care (as well as stopped seeing any of the "pros" myself).
I have a highly unconventional therapist now - he talks about how he dropped acid in the 70s, and I'm reasonably sure that's not standard procedure - but he's done way more for me than my stodgy Oxbridge psychiatrist ever did.
