> I think maybe therapists have a view of humanity that is very positive. I'm sure it serves them well in their work. But sometimes, unfortunately, we know better than they do the personalities of the people closest to us.
I haven't ever experienced it before except for my current T, and I find that he has an extremely human approach to other people and respects people as human beings,alive and having a soul. He said it much better than I did (I am terrible paraphrasing people) but basically his statements about the human race somehow gave me some hope about people and about the fact that I did belong, no matter how weird I may be, and that other people's opinions about me doesn't alter my worth as a human being. I especially like his ideas about "..The worst thing that could ever happen to anyone is to become a thing."

> Would it help to give your therapist a call and let him know what's going on?That was a good idea, Dinah. I agree that it might be a good idea to touch base since his suggestion went so wrong.
