Aimee Alex Trebek: Right, Mr. Connery. why don't you pick? Sean Connery: It looks like this is my lucky day! I'll take "The Rapists" for $200. Alex Trebek: That's "Therapists." That's "Therapists," not "The Rapists." Let's skip "Therapists" and try "Household Objects", for $400. And the answer is, "You usually drink water out of one of these."

Tank i never noticed the breakdown of this word before... but today i noticed only it... i was shocked to see that was a blather on psychoanalysts... 010614 ... kingsuperspecial the last therapist I had was pretty awful experience. she had this idea that if she said NOTHING at all, ever, that would somehow help me. She also talked me into going 4 days a week, because that would somehow combine with her saying ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Now I think about what a sucker I am - and I find out that sort of analysis is a known scam for rich people with nothing to do with their time. Plus, she thinks I owe her $800. Fuck her, man. Now I talk to my cat 4 days a week, and you know what? The cat sits on my tummy and purrs, which is a fuck of a lot more than the therapist did for me. (a) 010614 ... The World According To Karp My therapist is a drug dealer, they all are. He never told me that if I eat right, quite abusing drugs and alcohol, go to church and get lots of exercise every week that I would be a normal functioning person. Of course I lied and said I didn't abuse drugs and that I did exercise. But he just wanted to keep trying to get me to take different pills. "Try this" "Fill this" "Switch to this and we'll see you next thursday" Never did he say "I'm surprised you're not all better." He never wanted me to get better, he just wanted to sell me drugs. Prozac. Anti-Depressants. Lithium. Well...I refused to play your game. I did it on my own. (Well, God helps) Those drugs are dead. So is the old me. I let it all go. And I'm alive. 010823 ... endless desire i hate therapists they are paid to listen to you talk i have a lot of friends who will listen to me talk and not make me pay them. not to mention the fact that these friends know me and where ive been and who i am. a therapist is just a random person who doesnt know you or anything about your life and expects you to open up like you are all buddy buddy. which is gay. bc i open up to everyone but i am too stubborn to open up to one of them funny, i would seriously consider being a therapist too. the whole idea amuses me and i think id be terrific at it. but as for going to one, save that for the people who have nothing better to do with their time. ive tried two. yeah they sucked i lasted 3 weeks the first time and 6 or 7 the second. this new one my parents are making me go to. its a good way for them to pretend they care. lisa. haha i told you the name. shes nice i guess. but they all are nice. shes kind of funny. very enthuisastic and sounds genuinely intersted in me. but the fact is, my parents are paying her the big bucks to talk to me and she wouldnt do so if they didnt. and she doesnt know me and i have my whole life to explain to her, and, frankly, i dont feel like bothering. therapists are wastes of time and office and practically breath. and im not sure what she will do for me. i can help myself i have this complex about being weak i can do this myself. pull through myself. i dont need some lady who doesnt know me fuck her. i mean i dont say stuff like that its just not cool but fuck all therapists. i dont want to have anything to do with them except that i promised id try so i will stick to my word bc its the only thing i have left . . .kind of. the point is, its the only thing i can control. 030531 ... /anon mine is ok she is nice and gives good advice and is not overbearing and does not make me do things i do not want to. it doesnt really help all that much yet but i dont care i dont hate her for it 030601 ... /anon but i know i cant help myself and there are many people who cant so therapists are not a waste. They help many people. They give insight into your condition and help you understand it so you can help yourself 030601 ... shivers i saw my first therapist when i was nine. she was nice, i cold talk about nething and she didnt seem to need to push me to talk about subjects i didnt want to. i stopped seeing her, i was better. now im seeing this guy who talks more then i do. well, i guess im only seeing him because im too shy and being lonely make me depressed. the put me on some drug since november and it seems to be helping, but i cant help but think without it id still be the sad pathetic person i was b4. always wallowing in my own greif. i hate my therapist, he doesnt care, i go on another planet after the first 45 min 030601 ... endless desire well jeez i have to go the f(uck)ing therapist tomorrow hurray yeah i hate life. or at least tuesdays i used to love tuesdays though, ive always hated thursdays im not sure why that is they are never good days for me. 030602 ... endless desire i never want people to know i go to a therapist or that i am bulimic or that i do the things i do. he says, "why not?" i say, "its not me! its not who i am" (i guess i feel i have an image to maintain. those things are not what anyone would expect from someone who appears to have their life all put together. not even my siblings no i go to a therapist) so persist, "its not me. its not me at all" he says, "but ellyn, it is you." oh_yeah. i guess it is. and it scared me because this is me. 030604 ... tyger Therapy is a big cult scam. They take your money and then tell you to take responsiblity for life as though you have some kind of as-of-yet magical untapped power over the behavior of others and meteor strikes and starving kids in Africa - look out world, I'm taking responsibility for you! I can't wait until this actually happens. The first thing I will do when I become "responsible" is fire all the therapists in the world. Then perhaps I will start in on peace in the middle east... 031114 ... unmedicated to tyger's post above ... hear fuckin' hear!!! 031118 ... endless desire now with the third therapist. i see her twice a week. to deal with this "crisis". she's nice. we talk. but i still don't see what it does. after so many months, im finally opening up to her. . .but all it does is make me depressed when i leave. she always says, "good work" like it was hard or something. i don't know. im not going to say that therapy doesn't work. . .i just don't think it works for me. 031129 ... x be patient. stay open. it does hurt sometimes. 031130 ... Nick R Hmmmmmmmmm.........therapist is the words The-rapist put together. I mean you can't trsut them. Also, Mother in Law is an anagram of Woman Hitler...he he he 040609 ... pete I have a few therapists. My pen, my pencil, music, blather, dreams, and those walks where I am able to vocalize my internal words and sing to my own tunes, leaving this world away. 040609 ... Jess ha ha Nick! I found you! 040712 ... for ME therapy was somewhat bullshit They're OK. I don't know if mine really helped me or not. 040827 ... Bearkatninja I hate my therapist. He is an ass. One session I told him about my fantasy of knocking him to the ground biting his neck and ripping out his jugular and watching all the blood spill out. He chuckled. I smiled fiendishly. Does he think I am joking, push my buttons a few more times and find out that indeed I am not. 050120 ... izabela im in love with mine i either want to fuck her or be her child think the word is transference 080110 ...
