Just a thought, to reframe your reframe: Why would it be better to be a "professional giving out advice"? I can think of cases where that isn't true, such as when professionals are in denial about their own baggage and project it onto others. I suspect you meant therapist when you said "professional" but there are many professionals who hold other degrees.

Here is my suggestion: Candi, I understand what you are saying, but why not throw caution to the wind, be a rebel, and fight for the cause, lol? You should go all the way, though. Get a PC tatoo on your forehead or somewhere visible, wear a sweatshirt that says on the back of it, "I am chatting with crazy people on PsychCentral. Feel free to read over my shoulder." Wear a hat with a blinking PC sign. Wear a long skirt that has printed DSM criteria all over it and circle the ones that apply to you (and ones that don't just to add a little dramatic flair). Maybe have PC shaved into the side of your head? You're creative, I'm sure you can think of some other brilliant ideas, LOL. Make sure to post a picture. Maybe the new podcast will announce you as PCer of the week? Let us know how it goes.
