i ask friends..when you go to see the therapist or dr....did you help them to feel better?..are they feeling better after your visit?.i went to a therapyst for 6 mounthe back in 1990...after giving me the lessions and facillitatiing motivational pictures and graphs he started to give us the same starting paperwork from our first day in group..i commented on this...we went out for a coffee break...he said he had done all he could the next step was up to me.after our talk,,he said he learned some things from our time talking..it was good to know in my deppression i still am important to others..our responses can inspire others to look at their lives and grow too..he told me he didnt like working for the state..to many rules..our group..had helped him to see he was trapped too.some of us changed..he got out of his scene and moved to anouther town his wife wanted to live in..and started a psych center of his own..i went to jr.collage and became a certified counselor till i retireded.funny..i got paid to stay sober..got burned out..wouned up here still ..you take care now we are an inteligent bunch..just run around in circles sometimes..gday
