What do u think of a psychologist ? ( Archived) (49)

...It's always good to be presented with a positive different angle of view that seek solution in improving self worth and given quality life options.

Why would you make such distasteful joke, while she's sharing her traumatic painful experience and needs moral support.

Several years ago,after my partner suddenly died, than after ...my father died, I went true grieving and depression so for the first time I wanted to see Psychologist to see if that could make me feel better ...Anyway, after only a few sessions, Psychologist was inviting me to date and putting his hand on my knees Ive thought to myself, if i slap him accross the face in old fashion way , he might say that I am crazy and when I asked 'what is he doing by rubbing his hand on my knee?' he would just change the subject .....so I told him that 'his making me feel cheap and that I won't come back' and what makes me laugh is that Psychologist was throwing numerous pencils in the wall out of frustrations, maybe concerned that I might report him to the Medical Board.
I have asked him peacfully, if he needs the Doctor next door to him that I can call him to give him injection to calm him down.
After him I found another male Psychologist and he was highly proffesional understanding and never crossed boundaries but after a few sessions I gave up anyway because there's no way that anyone can make short cut in grieving dead, we simple need to learn how to live with it and only time can heal...but what works for me, it may not work for someone else...Different people, different problems ...

Sorry to hear of ur losses Rainbow.

I hope all is well with u now.

Thank you for thoughtful words. I am ok.
We all experience some loses in life that we have to 'overcome' in time and learn to live with and keep moving on...I always keep in mind saying of one Novelist, that bad things happen in our life, not to make us miserable but to make us grow and to enlighten us, to discover better self ..and while I like to think the same way too as it's like a self comfort, for some terible life tragedies like loosing family members, I can not see what would be the point connected to discovering self - enlightment' ... except maybe enlightment when you come to point of acceptance how things are, moving from the past memories and living in the present... in appreciation of what you have...
You are sweet soul ...

Actually, I don't think much of psychologists at all. Every single one differs in views from the next.

So, it's like the throw of the dice, except this one has millions of sides !
