It's hard to tell if you actually believe that ALL therapists are scoundrels or it's just something you enjoy going on about. It can be really disheartening to someone in one of those life or death situations to hear that their therapist and all therapists are in it just for the money. Are they all good people? Hell no and we shouldn't stop calling the bad ones out. But they're not all bad people either. I don't know what the point is in constantly saying that all of them are bad.

I think both of my therapists are generally good people. They have helped me a lot, and together they fill in the gaps that the other has. I understand how they apply their training in our sessions. It's a pretty good situation for me in general, even when the sessions are tough. I am okay with SD not understanding or agreeing. I am guessing it is not the only place where SD and I disagree. It is fine for me to invest in something that she thinks is bullshirt.
