Therapy.

[thirtythree]

I'm 99% sure therapists aren't required to receive therapy, and they are allowed to be mentally ill

On an intellectual level, I seriously doubt any 20-something blonde would have anything to say that would be of any remote interest whatsoever. Other than, of course, fulfilling sexual fantasies...

They are not there to be stimulating.They are there to listen.

That's exactly the point. Being 20-something, she's extremely unlikely to have the life-experience to provide any meaningful input

You're probably right. I was just saying that therapists should do more than sit there and let you talk for an hour.

Anybody else go to therapy besides me.Anybody else just sits there sometimes and talk while just thinking about banging the therapist.

actually, thinking about banging your therapist is a pretty common and natural reaction. they can't bang you, though, as it's unethical and can get A) their license revoked, B) them thrown in jail.

anyway, it's all part of transference and your therapist is probably perfectly aware of you wanting to bang her already!

is it true that most therapists need a therapist?

most schools require psychologists to undergo psychotherapy themselves before they can get a degree. many seek it again later because they have to deal with heavy sh!t all day, every day. you would, too. i don't know if "most" do, but many do. at least you know they believe in the power of what they're doing.

Its nice.I enjoy going.

by the description of your therapist I think I'd enjoy going also.

She a counselor or a full fledged shrink?

Counselor.Although she can refer me to a doctor capable of prescribing me drugs if need be.

counselors aren't therapists. they don't have the training to perform therapy (only a master's degree instead of a PhD or M.D.). but they can counsel, and that's good, too. if she's giving advice and listening to your problems, it's all good. if you're lying on the couch talking about your dreams, your counselor is not only doing you a disservice, but also probably breaking the law.
