If the sign of a batty therapist is to explain to the client that we all have “a little spirit man” inside of us who can be either a healing or destructive emotional force (no, she didn’t mean soul, or conscience, I asked), well then, Info is a batty therapist.

Eta: AY, I told her your therapy metaphor of Searle’s Chinese room hypothesis. She thinks it’s a GREAT (yes, said in all caps) metaphor for therapy.
i kind of like info....though she most definitely is batty. well maybe "like" is a strong word because she has said some things to you that i don't think have been helpful at all?
overall, how would you rate her effectiveness in helping you feel less suicidal/self-harm reduction/whatever else it is you think you want to make better?
