Look at yourselves! You are engaging in a self-reinforcing circle of weirdness. Going Postal because a therapist's wife comes to his office? Well, duh!? She's his wife! Finding out where they live!? Driving around the block? What their wives look like?! What kind of house they live in!? Why should you care? That's their business.
Seems to me a psychologist should be an enabler of growth that is totally apart from him. You get what you need from the guy. Then you thank him, shake his hand and move on. Instead, I read all of this strange dialog in which the relationship becomes an end in of itself, rather than a mechanism to healthy independence.
Whoever moderates this forum should step back and take stock. This is SUPPOSED to be a general PSYCHOLOLGY forum in which people trade ideas about WHAT WORKS so that the members can mutually advance to physical health and psychological and spiritual happiness.
This whole thing is so dysfunctional because it is so unbounded in its obsession with therapist relationships, not personal growth.
Man...
-H
Go ahead suspend me. Only I'm the only rational one here the offers you people something positive beyond stupid mal-adaptive obsessions. Ah, you just aren't getting it done. And you know what? You don't wanna get it done! You'd rather kvetch till the cows come home, than invest in the real effort to step up and out and make life happen for real.
