I too wonder often if our therapists know, or care to know, how frightened we are, how much reason we have from our experiences to be frightened. I for one do not subscribe to the theory that "everytherapist is for the best in this best of all possible worlds." Sometimes what they present as "therapy" can be so fear-producing that I wonder if it is worth it. It does seem sometimes that the only way to get their attention is by drastic action. And does that work? Probably never.
