First off, please forgive my abruptness to your generous reponse to "Manic vs Panic"... I get hurried and harried at times... Second, my mentor, although not my therapist but rather my friend of 29 years died of cancer this last May... So, please accept my empathy for your situation... Another story is that in 1980 the State of California certification people planted a lady client in his practice to lure him into making sexual advances... After 5 or 6 sessions ending in her inviting him for coffee or drinks and his reminding her that he was going home to his wife, she stopped keeping appointments... He received a letter about 3 months later stating that he had been cleared of all allegations, of which he never was told what the allegations were... He intuitively connected the dots... Sometimes these snotty agencies are too lazy to really get to the bottom of things, and placate the complainant at the expence of all...
Your question in your response was regarding education, and I advocate knowing... Example: the common thread through all 12 step programs is fear that the person feels like they are never "enough"... There is a hole in their soul that they feel a need to fill most of all... Mine was eating --- sad how much spagetti or pizza I could put into that hole (in my soul)... When I discovered I could be "enough" and still starving, my life changed, I hope forever... I know that who I am is a fact and that no matter what comes my way, I will be "enough" to handle it... No matter what mistakes I might make, I am still me and can handle it... If I tested my life based on fear/not-fear, "fear freezes the feet" so nothing would get done...
Again, accept my understanding and empathy... DrRod (not Dr Rob)
