I do not want to reply to your post because I don't want to increase problems for the person who originated this thread. The only thing I will say is that, sure everyone does name call; many people have learned not to name-call in certain situations (i.e. many adults wouldn't call their bosses a ******). Many people have learned not to yell c**t out at other drivers when their vehicle windows were lowered and there were chances that the cursed drivers might harm them. So, there is developed learning.

Similarly to complaints by "problem drinkers," if the drinking continues to severely impact a person's life, what kind of counseling services would be beneficial? SOme people might secure services where a person stands up and admits his "problem" and is supported by others with the same concern. Some people will obtain medication. Some people's families will surround the "problem drinker" and (more or less) blast the person with the reality of how the drinking has affected the family members. Not all of the resolutions will be candy-coated. No one way of doing things will help everyone. Your services may be seen as extremely beneficial to some, and not to others. Mental health professionals can be as diverse as a spectrum of light...and a good thing, too.

Everyone bullies. Everyone name-calls. Does everyone lose multiple relationships due to name-calling, and attribute the described problemmatic loss of relationships due to name-calling? Did the original poster sense his name-calling was serving a useful purpose or causing him ongoing problems?

My first sentence of my previous post stated that I was going to post questions. I added a pre-apology in case a reader thought the questions were inappropriate. I didn't realize there was one way to respond. Yes, after many years of life and work in the field, I do know a lot about the complications of life and the array of people's needs.

the best to you, as well
