Nobody likes a tattle tale It could have been worse, anyway. They could have gone home with a complimentary computer or cash register. My old boss at the Vets I worked at once went home with a complimentary Puppy. I don't know if it's better or worse that the owner of the litter didn't even notice :s I never liked the man, anyway. He had a poor track record in animal welfare, and non of the Nurses or his fellow Vets (he was the Big Cheese, as it were) liked him either. He once made me clean out his car even though it wasn't in my job description. He'd pissed me off that morning anyway for keeping alive an animal that was clearly suffering greatly in order to take money from the owners for "treatments", so I poured Cat food into his radiator..... Vandalism? Maybe. Satisfying? Most definitely.

Funny how therapy can make you more depressed after it's over than when you started. Especially after your therapist tells you he's leaving the agency three weeks after you start. After your last therapist quit without telling you.

I gave up on therapist's & therapy a long time ago. In my experience many psychologists ended up being some of the most neurotic and F' up people I ever encountered. I decided western Freudian psychology was not for me. For some, it does wonders and is very helpful & in addition the industry is going through some growing pains within the confines of insurance benefits. Many of the wonderful therapists and psychologists no longer want to hassle with major insurance companies and end up only catering to those who can afford their full rate. The system is broken.

Is it me or is everyone going through a hard time at the moment?

Gah. Even when I stay over at my friend's home I have severe insomnia. It's really not fair, because I'm quite knackered now and could use a nap. I "got up" a half hour ago and am already exhausted. I really ought to see a Doctor about this because sleeping tablets might help. I really don't like chemical medication, though. But I tried meditation, scented candles and all manner of lotions and potions from the natural health store.

For the first time in nearly 4 years, it actually seems like my life is on an extremely positive path. So it's not all bad news for everyone.

I don't know anyone using pure Freudian theory type therapy. Most funding sources will only authorize short term therapy services (less than one year) and if one was using Freudian based theory only they wouldn't get very far.

As a fully licensed therapist working for a non profit mental health agency, very few of my clients have private insurance. The majority of my clients are either state funded, have Medicaid, or pay on a sliding scale. I do see people through their EAP programs, too. I am certainly not alone in my profession. The biggest problem I run into with private insurance is that many of these folks can't afford their co-pay. But we work with it best we can.

You're right, so many therapists have personality issues of their own. Most of us in this profession come from some sort of dysfunction and have a desire to help others. The problems come when a therapist is working through their own issues via clients. Not good. Sorry you had a bad experience.

No one I know is in this field for the money. I made double my current salary as a bartender.
