People - STOP GOING TO therapist...they are a waste of time and energy.

Life situations can be explained when one looks at cause and effect...find the cause and you’ll see the effect...it shouldn’t take someone else to sit there and listen to the indicators and then tell you why certain situations occur...that simple...

Even if one has a mental condition...then it must be dealt with - someone knows either it was present from birth -or brought on over time - or through some mitigating circumstance — but it all can be identified...never will let someone else deal with my problems that I bring into my life...

There are a lot of situations that a good therapist can help with. But in the vast majority of such cases, a walk in the woods or a day at the range can do just as much good. The difference is that until ammo prices went through the roof, the non-medical options were cheaper. Also, the woods and the range won't call the Gestapo to confiscate your guns. If you have to talk to someone, talk to someone you know and trust (hint: NOT a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist!). Unless it's a chemical imbalance in the brain that requires medication - and that will not clear up on its own - today's weak version of doctor-patient confidentiality is too big a risk.
