As someone in this industry, hopefully I can help shed some light. With all occupations, there will be the good guys and the bad guys. However, for all of us, we are bound by the restrictions and the rules that are constantly being set on us by the higher ups. You wouldn't believe some of the crap we have to do, because insurances say. Like diagnoses on the first session. That's labeling someone after only one hour of knowing them. It's ridiculous.
It's the system. It needs a major change.
Psychologists, therapists, and the like, they aren't the problem. Trust me, we don't get into this for the income. It's the bureaucracy. It's insurances. It's the government that doesn't understand and probably never will.
