I read through this thread all the time, even if I don't chime in anymore. But I wanted to say thanks to those who have been posting here lately about their struggles as members of the therapy field. I think I've mentioned it in this thread before, but I'm a therapist as well, and still struggle with my own problems. I started because I want to help others not to have to struggle the way I have. It's difficult though, especially when you're trying to get yourself better. I feel like I've been subtly discriminated against by therapists and psychiatrists who I've gone to for treatment, just because I work in the same field. It's hard to find compassion, even if they've gone through some of the same things. I feel like a lesser person because I'm trying to better myself while working.
