I think it would be better if an oncologist got put through some of the procedures, tests and ways of being treated that cancer patients endure.
It does not matter to me if the therapist has the same experience as I do. Sometimes I think they over-react to what I say but I don't know if it is based on over identification in that they went through something similar but worse, or over active imaginations making them think it was worse than it was for me, or merely that they are messing with me by pretend over reacting because they find my reaction to what I tell them to not fit with what they consider appropriately over the top.
