[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 642488, member: 14557"] Seems like Ache got really lucky with his first therapist search, then he had only three options and one was a good fit. Now he is much better located and so has more options available, but finding a fit seems to be challenging. But what really inspired the heading to this topic was not only some titbits Ache has shared but remembering couple therapists I have known socially (luckily never had to deal with them in their professional capacity.) Other one was Ache's team mate's mother about a decade ago and we were assigned to work as a pair to all kinds of fund-raising activities, keeping up the coffee kiosk in kids' games being one of the most common tasks. Okay, I'm sure none of us parents were so thrilled about those tasks, but her spaciness was way over the top. And while her anti-stress, zen and radical acceptance ways of taking in life could certainly sound wise and deep, she certainly took it bit far in little real life difficulties. I mean, while it is not reason to have a panic attack or call police, ambulance and fire department, when you come to open a coffee kiosk and notice that coffee has run out or coffee maker doesn't work, I didn't really appreciate her way of just stating the issue, sitting down and proclaiming we apparently are not able to sell coffee today, either. :D I used to complain to my husband at home, that if she somehow would step aside from the road to deeper snow or slip and fell, she would likely just state that she was stuck/fell and then stay there till she would freeze to death without making any attempt to solve the issue. I have to say that I'm proud of the constraint I showed in never pushing her to snow bank to test this theory though... Not so proud about the glee I felt next summer, when I found out her son was placed to lower development level team than mine and that meaning our days slaving together were over. I did sometimes wonder about her patients, who probably were looking to actually solve their issues. There is also a therapist living in our village, who sees ghosts, lots of them, and talks about that all the time. And that is just a starting point of her eccentrics. And these are licensed, qualified tdocs, who knows about the unqualified ones (well, one from the town next to us was just charged for sexual abuse of his patients after he claimed to heal their various issues by all kinds of techniques that included women being naked and him touching their private areas.)
