I see two semi-retired female therapists, both are lcsw's. I doubt if either is working because they have to at this point. I am not envious of what I know about their lives. They have very different backgrounds. I do not feel less than either of them, my education and IQ is equal or more than theirs, my income is around the same or more, and I am better read than both. I am probably more similar to the second one I see than the first in terms of having been raised in an upper-middle class suburban professional family with similar religious backgrounds. I have not found socio-economic status issues to be a big thing for me with therapy.
