Can we please voluntarily end this thread from grlimilakinskeeper, or whatever her screen name is...it's getting too personal, and not very productive.

I watched my father beat my mother to a bloody pulp with a broom handle when I was about two or three years old. I cannot begin to tell you how that has affected me -- in many, many ways. It is only now that I'm semi-normal -- and that is with tons of therapy.
The more I read about CLW's life, the more I shake my head. It is so apparent she is denying how much her parents hurt her. Just like she is denying how much she is hurting her children in turn.

She appears to have based her opinions on a large amount of misinformation, considering she does not understand the difference between one mental health profession and another, nor does she seem to grasp the idea that there is a difference between a person who could benefit from counseling and a person who is mentally ill.
I really dont see how her comments can be interpreted any differently than how she wrote them.

I have known so many people who have gone into counseling when what they really needed was to just deal with their lives. I've seen people mislead by the counselors prejudices (which become self fullfilling prophecies once the right seeds have been planted). If I send my dd's to a counselor who believes that girls will have problems because of a divorce, guess what WILL happen? They'll have problems but will it be because of how the divorce was handled within the family or because the counselor believed they would and planted the right seeds?
My experience is that counselors can confuse situations as much as they can help. I'd have to know my kids had specific issues before I'd take them in for professional treatment and then I'd be very in tune with what is being said. Counselors bring their own baggage to counseling sessions and have preconcieved ideas about what SHOULD be happeneing to kids during specific times. I also think they are prone to experiment on their patients. The nature of the business I guess. They have their place and if we ever need them, we'll use them. Just as I don't go to the doctor, repeatedly, when I'm not sick, I'm not sending my kids in for treatment if they're not sick. For the time being, I'll trust my own instincts here. After all, I've lived what they are going through and survived to tell about it.
While there are quacks out there, that is true of any profession. I never called the profession quacks.

If you ask me, most plans have that backwards. I wouldn't see a nurse practitioner to determine if I need a doctor, I'd see a doctor to determine that a nurse practitioner will do. Of course, they're just choosing to use the cheapest option first.
