therapists

[dfiant]

I have never seen a therapist in my life. My mother tried to take me for counselling back in the 80's. I refused. I never really had issues with myself that I couldn't work through on my own. I had issues with other people in my life who I thought should have had counselling, like my father...but even electric shock therapy wouldn't have helped him.

By my early to mid 20's I figured it all out, forgive those morons that impacted me negatively, but never ever tell them that I forgave them, they didn't deserve to know...then just completely erase them from my life as if they ddn't exist.

I have since learned to surround myself with happy, positive, loving and supporting people...and now the greatest hurt of my life is seeing others suffer, especially teens and youths at the hands of bullies and the likes.

Counselling/therapy wasn't/isn't/will never be for me...if I want to spill my guts to stranger I will go next door and chat with the rabid St. Bernard.

I understand others need the assistance and guidance, and if you believe or know that it helps then I support your decision to seek assistance.

I have the same views on gay marriage...I wouldn't want it for myself in a million years, but I will support any bills to legalise marriage because it is something that others want and there is no reason not to have.
