I'm a person with a certain lack of reverence about almost everything (system); I work in the legal system so this is both important to have (because it's such a screw up) and necessary (as so many clients have been screwed over by social services, education, law, etc.). My T started out working with public aid clients where he would actually accompany them to the public aid office and help them navigate through the wacky b.s. and government red tape. I do not think I could see a T who didn't have an appreciation that any system (including mental health) was full of idiocy. In other arenas of my life, I run into people all the time who seem to think that government and social services actually do their job, but of course that's because they have never had to deal with people who use their systems or deal with the systems themselves. It's aggravating, especially as a woman of a certain age, I have less tolerance for b.s. than I used to.

I'm glad you could share a funny moment in T, though. I appreciate the humor that is often a part of my therapy.
