I read a very compelling assessment of me when my medical records were collected for my disability benefits appeal. It said i related as person who was, "well-read, well-educated and well-experienced." It said that i have high intelligence which is my "big advantage but it may be a disadvantage as [i] will outsmart any therapeutic endeavor." Kind of a back-handed compliment. I don't do therapy because i find the therapists usually want to heal you because of their superior intelligence and i find that so offensive. I can read "Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Dummies" just as easily as they can.

I've been with my GP for 17 years and things go smoothly with him because i concede that he is smarter than me and i don't compete with him. It doesn't hurt that he's a real charmer, too!
