Just a few random thoughts and questions on therapist?
Do you ever wonder if therapist/ psychologist ever get depressed themselves from listening to a bunch of people allday long venting about how much there lives suck and other things?
Do therapist really care about the people that they are speaking to or are they just in in for the money and trying to get the story out of the person so they can just give them some pills?
Do some think about or wish they could do like that guy on the Gieko commercial and just yell at them. when Gunny throws that box of tissues at the guy. do therapist really think that some people are just crybabys, or just need to grow a pair and get over it?

Most psychologists do it because they care, it's a hard job to do if you don't. I mean if they were actually like the way they are portrayed on TV no one would go back to them and they wouldn't make a living.
I'm a social worker because helping people is my meaning in life. Sure I've met a few people where I've thought 'I wish you'd snap out of it'. But I'd never say anything like that because I know that I can't always see from that person's perspective and everyone has different thresholds for what they can cope with.
Sometimes you have to keep searching for the counsellor that is right for you. I've had two psychologists and all though I liked the first one I didn't feel like I was getting what I needed out of our sessions. The one I'm seeing now is fantastic!
It depends on the therapist whether they are in it for the money or really care but even the ones that are in it for the money have to care a little bit because they could have chose a less emotionally demanding job.
