My perception... that is rich. Couldn't I also question the validity of your perceptions?

Actually i think at the time my perceptions were totally clouded, being enmeshed in therapy and needing to see them as infallible saviors. Now things are much clearer a few years on, since I am no longer in the game.

Also, all of this becomes much more apparent when you talk to therapists specifically about problems caused by therapy. Then they are forced to reveal their attitudes about all the hierarchical BS and whether they can tolerate being wrong about something meaningful.
