Of course I would have to start off this post with
the classic Gogo’s song and a video insert from the same. However, I think I
will leave that towards the end of the post.
This is kind of, sort of, a heavy “intellectual” post so it might be
nice to finish off with something light and silly or carefree.
Okay, the other day someone mentioned to me that
they had read on another blog somewhere that counsellors and psychotherapists/psychiatrists/psychologists/psychoanalysts
are generally considered to be (gasp!) a bit aloof and ridiculous. And mainly
this is because they are perceived as being very secretive, in other words they
don’t reveal (or shouldn’t) very much about themselves when clients come in for
therapy sessions. As a result, there is a belief within the larger (non-mental
health) world that counsellors are a bit buffoonish. So ultra-concerned about
confidentiality. They have reason to be. And there is reason for it.
