Are you intimidated by the letters after T's name?

I look at it this way.. T has PSY.D after his name makes him an expert in his area.. But, I happen to think that I have expertise in my area of work. So, I go to him for his expertise in that area and it is not intimidating.

My t is extremely brilliant with letters after her name AND warm& fuzzy.
I have letters after my name and i am warm and fuzzy as well. I am not intimidated by letters. Therapists are just people.

I am not intimidated but my first t was a little bit of a snob about education. Really judged people by what college they went to and basically thought without a graduate degree you weren't really educated. I do not have a graduate degree.

Nope. I know I'm very intelligent and many things have come naturally/easily for me over the years. While I may not have a graduate degree (yet), I've also had several years of graduate education in two fields. I think my Ts definitely have their expertise, and I respect that, but there are plenty of things I know that they don't. A degree or certification doesn't necessarily make a person any better/smarter than someone without anyway. I think I have been more intimidated by how together they and their lives are and long for that.

I have plenty of letters after my own name. I am not at intimidated by the letters after someone elses.

It is not like you have to all that smart to really get to be anything. Often it is more an ability to slog through stuff or how to be tested, but you don't have to be all that smart once you figure out what slogging needs to be done.

Not really, I'm not intimidated by my therapist at all. Nor Impressed, I'm only impressed if they actually turn out to be a good therapist. Not saying if they connect with me or not, because i have been to a therapist that was good at her job but just wasn't for me, but I understood it just wasn't a good match and wasn't either of our faults

I'm not intimidated... I admire and respect how smart she is - though she might not always think I do

For a brief period, though, she suddenly added all the letters and qualifications after her name to her email signature - which seemed weird and business-like to me, as I'd gotten used to her emails seeming more casual and signed off with just her first name - I don't know what prompted the change, maybe she was just messing with the settings on her phone, but I felt the need to poke a little fun by sending a response with a signature of my own, adding my own qualifications - along with a couple of unofficial ones, acronyms like 'PITA' ... I'm not sure if she saw the funny side, actually, or if she picked up on it, we never spoke of it... but she dropped that particular signature...

I don't know what letters my T has after his name, but he says he is constantly learning from his clients, so *shrug* it's not an issue.
