in high school, my boyfriend at the time was forced by his parents to see two therapists. one was his general therapist, the other was to specifically talk about sex. not necessarily that he was having sex, but just because his parents thought that the fact that he even knew what sex was turned out to be a TREMENDOUS issue...to the point where they would lock him in the car to question him if he had been having sex with anyone. my point: it fucked him up - he didn't know WHAT to believe.
now, i think therapists are great. the problem with therapy is that everyone who goes to therapy has the ability to turn anything the therapist says into what they want to hear. i am guilty of this [guilty as charged...]. i try to be overtly honest, because i think that this is in my best interest. i'm not ashamed to say i go to a therapist, because i think it makes me a better person to consider that the advances and studies in the field of psychology may actually benefit me. i mean, these studies are done for a reason...to "figure" people out...to "understand" the synergy between the mind, emotions and the heart.
anyway, what i'm saying is - people get fucked up because they don't actually listen to what the therapist is trying to say, they just take it how they want to take it...and that's the problem. like i said, i'm guilty. it's happened to me. but i observe a lot of people's behaviors and i observe a lot of people who i know go to therapy...and it's not a pretty picture.
then i think, crazy is normal, normal is crazy [einhorn is finkel, finkel is einhorn] so who gives a fuck! people are nuts, and that's life, there's nothing i can do. ughhhhh. s i g h ....
if you see a therapist, just listen to them, do what they say, they are usually right...
**side note** my kids found my myspace page on the history trail on our classroom computer!!! they are not supposed to be surfing the internet...but there they were, reading about who i want to meet, my general interests and my relationship status.
hilarious and wrong, so very wrong.
