Are you sure? In my experience, a good psychotherapist can. This is a good thing.
I bet you're feeling anxious and angry inside right now. (How am I doing)?
> That is what I hate about many pdocs and such, saying, "you take X, so you should feel like Y". It's quite simple...forget all of the b*llsh*t...if it feels "better" than our baseline (as opposed to "good"...an elevated, artificial high...which is only temporary) just go with it. We DON'T need to know the WHY of everything!
Sure we do. That's how we can reproduce and improve results while doing the least harm.
As a patient, you certainly don't have to know a damned thing as long as your treatment works and is doing you no harm.
Sometimes, a lot of education goes a short way.
