What I appreciate about bud's posts is that he sees a systemic problem and raises questions that a healthy system will ask of itself. I share his concerns.

I'm fortunate to have a therapist who hears and accepts my complaints about the industry. Unlike bud, I have a place where I can talk about these things without being disparaged. It's very hard to find a therapist who won't blame the client, so I really get what bud and others who have been treated similarly are up against. It's troubling to see him attacked here on such a regular basis. All he is doing is saying there's a problem in the mental health industry. That is not a radical or unfounded notion. And it does not negate the experience of anyone who has found good professionals.
