As a side note...I think a lot depends on the therapist. in my humble opinion, we were extremely lucky finding a therapist we both liked. I have heard plenty of negative stories from others. I have one friend who went for many many years weekly to a marriage counselor with her husband. WEEKLY for many years. Good grief. And this therapist, had her going to him separately. A potential conflict. We would go for 2-4 weeks. Then not go for many months...maybe a year or more. Then go back when we had a concern or a lot of stress. She DIScouraged constant therapy.
Over the years, I heard of one friend that went to see our same therapist who didn't like her and I've heard of others that found her to be very helpful. So, there are good and bad therapists and there are some that just aren't the right "fit." Hard enough when you are struggling, but then you have to find someone good. Yes, we were fortunate.
PS Copa..this doctor sounds a bit like a jerk. I worry that arrogance can lead to serious medical errors.by the way, I first read that he wrote "lung noodle," and thought goodness, this guy is insane not to change THAT! LOL! Anyway, I hope you are ok.
