I had a hard time telling if you meant for those questions to be seriously thought about, or if you dissagreed with our opinions and were trying to prove yours through questions. It sounded to me to be more of the latter. If I'm wrong, please correct me. Also, I personally find the term "shrink" a little demeaning, due to the fact that, although today more and more people are going to therapists/psychiatrists/social workers etc. because society is starting to consider it a way of "staying" healthy, rather than solely "becoming" healthy, as i think it should be. To me, the term "shrink" is one of those derrogative terms used in the 50's when going to a therapist meant that something was wrong with you, and that you were crazy, no questions asked. I'm not trying to argue, just looking for inputs, does anybody else find the term derrogative? What do you all prefer to call a therapist...? Erin
