In my experience, therapists tend to be socially inept, and their training and countless hours of clinical isolation have turned them into hopeless weirdos.
Hmm. In my experience, therapists are actually quite socially skilled, active in their personal lives, and not odd at all (and yes, I know them beyond the therapy room). See how that works? Different people have different experiences and they can actually both be correct.
Thanks for this!
