i think Freud was a genius... businessman... get someone to fall in love with you, get them to pay huge amounts of money for the privilege... and you can do pretty much whatever you want... and they will still come back... because they need you... and want you... and will suffer the slings and arrows of love to just be near you... for 50 minutes twice a week.....

Nikki, this made me smile but also had such a ring of truth about it. When you think about it, it really seems like a brilliant racket, doesn't it? Sometimes therapy even seems to share some elements with prostitution. You pay a person for an hour of love (or sex). The client expects to be the center of attention and expects the other person to "put out" and satisfy his/her needs. (I wonder if therapists ever see themselves that way?)
