First Kestrel de-friended me on Facebook!!! :panic:

I'm currently on a 51/50 psychiatric hold at county where I'm typing this!

Secondly... I got straight A's this semester at school.

So, that means that I can continue to be the intellectual psychological snob on JC that Waco says that I am!

:)

I'll let you all decided what the good or bad new is!

Keep working hard Max...by the time you're done I'll be ready for therapy.

I talked to a shrink once (I had 13 broken bones plus all the ribs on the left side - that's why I couldn't run away from this guy or otherwise leave the room) and this head shrinker came in to see if I had problems. Pretty much the guy sat in a chair and expected me to talk about stuff...why Daddy didn't hug me enough, etc. Anyway...it was a horribly uncomfortable 20 minutes for both of us...and it didn't exactly "take". He did tell the nurse to bring me my Oxy which I'm grateful for. I'd be willing to try again as long as you promise not to turn my gay through psychotherapy. Suffice it to say...the "A-team" shrinks aren't working in small hospitals in Springfield, MO.

Having spent quite a bit of time in Springfield, MO I can attest that a well-capitalized psych practice could make a KILLING there.

Congrats on the grades.
As far as the snobby headshrinker part, I have yet to meet a non snobby headshrinker. One of my best friends AND his wife are uppity :crazy: people Docs.

Oh man, my son just finished his first year of college, majoring in Psychology. He had a 4.0 this semester for a 3.9 for his Freshman year. He's still as sweet as ever, and hopefully he won't turn into a snobby, uppity headshrinker. :eek: :D

I see what you did there... ;)
 
Clarification...my headshrinker wasn't uppity or snotty in anyway...he was just weird and kind of a pain in the ass. I hated the experience of him trying to talk to me. He basically would ask a question...I would give him the most direct response I could in as few a words as possible...and then he would just look at me. GOOFBALL. At least he got me my Oxy. Yum Oxycontin!

Kelvin - I've long been a fan of yours and often think that you may be the most "tuned in" to people on the forum.

If you knew how startlingly close to reality your quoted comment was you would be amazed. That's almost exactly how it went down, but it was more if a sneer with question marks. Seriously.

Shrink: How are you doing?
Me: I broke most of the bones on the left side. I hurt.
Shrink: How are you doing with anxiety?
Me: What do you mean, what is anxiety in shrink terms?
Shrink: Overwhelmed. Shortness of breath. Panic.
Me: No, I don't have that.
Shrink: How are you doing with your depression?
Me: What do you mean, what is depression in shrink terms?
Shrink: Despair, despondent, do not really care about things, etc.
Me: I don't have that.
Shrink: So, I understand you own a business, that must be hard and stressful, want to talk about that?
Me: Not really, unless you are on the Board of a Bank. I sell stuff to banks.

Shrink looks at me a long time. I look back with eyes narrowing. I refuse to speak first. Finally...

Shrink: Is there anything I can help with emotionally?
Me: Yes, please leave and on your way out ask the nurse to bring me my Oxy so I can catch Sports Center. Thanks.

Shrinks ask probing or open ended questions sometimes to gauge response/expression et al. Other times because they're only a tool to use to solve ones problems, so they're not going to exactly give you the answers, but they can assist in the process of helping you help yourself!

I got all A's so I'm qualified to answer your post! :D
 
I've gone to counseling twice in my life. Once for marital issues, and she was a complete waste of oxygen and money. The second time was after 3407, and she was wonderful. She was able to read me like a book and helped me tremendously!

(Two different women, btw)

I'll make this reply aviation related.

When you're learning to fly and or even getting your later certs if you're flying with an instructor that you don't click/get along with. Find another CFI-(I) that you do.

It's your money/training/mental health you're the customer, you have the power!

:)

Dude...you don't even have a clue! What you don't know is that for your final exam you have to succesfully analyze ME. You should start practicing the phrase "Would you like fries with your order?". No way you can maintain an "A" with that kind of ball-breaking final exam.

Had she been a pretty girl I may have been more open and talked a lot. I think a pretty woman shrink would be a way to get me more talkative. Everyone likes a pretty girl.

And, just for my own fantasy...were either of your women shrinks pretty?
