I have been in this forum for 2 years now and every time I am here I read the posts of suffering people over and over from the same people. Almost every person is seeing a pDoc, therapist, case manager, or mental health worker. I am curious if therapy is effective why is the suffering still here. I know what the mental health workers say "this patient is at fault". This gets rid of their guilt of doing an ineffective job or they are just not suited for this type of work. An example I have a church member who wants to be a counselor. God help her clients. She is not able to do this work. I wonder if DocJohn is doing a study to evaluate therapy effectiveness by utilizing everyone's posts and publishes the results.
People like me have been in therapy for years. Am I just a long range paycheck. Do these professionals have the ability to help us really? I know I have busted my butt all these years and it is not my fault because I can say I have worked extremely hard.
