a therapist of mine, who was very sane, told me the majority of therapists want to control other people because they cant control themselves. He said, "The good ones know about it". I reckon a percentage of therapists are narcissists, they see other people as actors on their own stage. I can't give you any numbers, but just be aware of this, and steer clear of those who are too charming.The first time I started seeing a therapist someone warned me that they're all crazy, but I thought he was being flip. Y...
But doesn't this apply, to a certain degree, to anyone who goes into an independent leadership field? Doctors could certainly be classified this way, as could teachers, entrepreneurs, investors, and even self-employed business owners.the majority of therapists want to control other people because they cant control themselves.

This is criminal behavior, and no, I'd not want to support that. But this could be an MD or an RN or a pharmacist too.a clinical psychologist who sells illegal narcotic pain killers to addicts without a prescription,
I don't know that I'd judge that. If it was a topic in sessions, then yeah...no. But I feel the same about anything that's not to do with what I'm there to work on. I don't believe in god. My therapist believes in god. That doesn't mean I can't see my therapist because he's a jesus-freak.a psychiatrist who has serious sexuality issues (including having anonymous unprotected sex in public with both men and women,
I don't agree with the idea that health practitioners of any kind cannot have their own diagnoses that require medication. But, this is an opinion. if in your opinion a person with a mental illness should not be allowed to work with the mentally ill, even if it's managed, then...that's your opinion.a psychiatrist who is bipolar and on heavy meds,

But to condemn a whole profession - made up of people like me, who want to help people and are good at it - based on those bad experiences is pretty poor.
Again - it could be anyone with access to such drugs (which means, the medical profession) delivering those drugs to a patient or any other random person. This is behavior non-specific to the therapy profession, is my point. And yes, it is criminal behavior, and would be for any medical professional to dispense in this manner.Nope. This was a druggie clinical psychologist who was literally delivering handfuls of pills to his client at home.
The expectation is that a mental health professional has his 'stuff' together. If he doesn't, he shouldn't be practicing.
Yeah, I also don't agree that there's an expectation that a MH worker has their 'stuff' together. I think there's an expectation that their stuff not impact me negatively, in my treatment plan - that's all.I don't agree with that at all - my expectation is that my therapist keeps her stuff out of my session, I don't know to know what her stuff is but I fully accept she has stuff.
I believe this reveals either your bias, or that you are unique, being one person with one sample set. i can't tell you that your experiences didn't happen, but I can tell you that I've interacted with a large number of MH professionals as well, and my numbers are not identical to yours. Your experience is colored by your expectations, same as mine. Perhaps you would look at my experiences and say I was wrong, they are all incompetent...but it's so far from being an objective measure, that it's rings of fear mongering, to me.I am stating, however, that given the number of mental health professionals I know, I'm hard pressed to think of a mentally healthy one.
