My own experience so far has been that in some
cases therapists can do a lot more damage than good. In my case smutty and malevolent motives which are guessed from a Freudian perspective are brought up to convince the client that those motives are the cause of their personal problems.
And furthermore that for this reason, i should be left for another life. Where they get this, i have no idea; some part of their catharctic biology no doubt.Without knowing me or seeing me or talking to me this dumbass accuses me of a life-long plan to harm my partner, and that now that my partner no longer needs or wants (she doesn't know for sure) medications, is free to see the plot that must have been cooking for 40 years since i have known her. WTF? I think if i did see her i would ask 'how do you know i wish to harm partner? why don't you go further and accuse me of wanting to kill my partner? you have just as much evidence and insight into this possibility.'
I give up. I don't know what is wrong. I don't care. I have told my partner after 40 years of dedication and help, that i would be happy without her. And I say this, because it is true and because i do not wish her to feel guilty, or give the therapist an opportunity to blame me for what is a MEDICAL problem and her undergraduate fantasies that she must be pulling out of some hat!!!!!!
I am following the advice of my friends, doctors, and colleagues, that i have now done all that i can, and that the rest really is between Big Brother (the therapist who has encourages secrecy, malevolent motives to destroy a reputation under the guise of "get it all out", and downright Freudian stupidity) and the client.
Whatever happens now is their decision, and a 40 year relative relation of honour, respect, and care, is being replaced by a 6-month occasional visit with a Sociology major and no medical knowledge WHATSOEVER, nor any care for a medical referral. It is assumed that there is no medical problem and the influence of such, regardless of symptoms, and at least 4 psychiatrists' diagnosis.
Amazing.
