you know, they are not gods
they should be professional and uphold their end, as you are the patient in their care
years ago, i knew a psychologist who smoked dope, popped pills, had a sexual addiction, and other flaws besides those as people usually do, but got her doctorate to counsel people - as it was her ideal career.
when i needed therapy at that time for a divorce, i remember avoiding her, although i was offered a discount as we were neighbors, and i watched her children with mine on a barter syatem as we both worked out that was great at the time ...
my point being, they (T's) are people, ordinary people, but when they take on the oath to protect and aide people, and not to harm in any way they would be responsible for... for those four to six or eight hours every other day they do this type of work, they are to uphold that oath. some aren't really quite right for the job, while others are wonderful, well suited and skilled, and then there are some who use that position to grow up and fix themselves on the job.
you are lucky if you have someone who understands that they must leave their life problems, their attitudes, and personal preferences regarding others outside the door for the 50 minutes they see someone, and if they cannot control that - i'd find someone who can.
i'm looking desperately for someone right now, but knowing what i do, about past experiences, and friends and 'neighbors', i am trying my best to be careful and i think i'll know the quality of a pro when i see it... (like a good fabric, you know it when you feel it).
the consequences of neglecting using this kind of discrimination, for myself and my loved ones, would just postpone getting the right care i deserve, and end up being a waste of money, to say the least, and the valuable time needed for my healing at a most important, opportune time.
hope i haven't offended.
