why does it ever have to be a debate? if i stick my foot in lime jello (no self reference intended) and it works for me, then so what, right?

No offense intended at all.. i am glad your experience has been overall positive Brian.

i'd really hate to see this thread go that way.. afterall, debating whether a therapist cares is a whole other thread topic. So if we are about to debate.. someone just call my T and let him know what he should do... i'm sure he'll be dying to know whether he should care about me or not.
