I had a weird therapist once, and I know he meant well, but we never hit it off. I ended up in Menninger's where I had a real stiff board of a person for an anyalyst. That did not work for me either. As an outpatient, I ended up with my hospital doctor who was a really down to earth person. I loved that man, and I wish he was still alive. He helped me so much. I just refused to talk about the abuse, but I did work on other stuff that helped me to be better put togehter so to speak. So, I went on and got doctorate and then 2 year postdoc at Menningers. HAH! I was one of the down to earth type of people, and I was pretty transparent, and I think this is what got me through the interview process with five different people. If I did not know the answer to something, I said so. They seemed to find that refreshing. And, most people do. I am still a down to earth person, but this does not mean I joke around and treat patients as if they are friends. I could still be serious but more not so stiff and formal that it seemed I did not care. And, I did use the psychoanalytic informed approach.

I miss doing therapy, but this is not the time. Doing the evals for court systems allows me to be in and out with someone and hopefully I help. Maybe we are talking about two different things. I do not like stiff boards and really uptight therapists, and maybe this is different from what you are referring to. I don't like really overintellectual therapists either. I know they are smart, and I want to say to them, Okay; lets get real here. My current analyst is a down to earth person who can joke and laugh, but he also gets really serious and maintains the frame and all else that goes along with a psychoanalytically informed approach. Wow, I did not think I would say this much. Take care, I am still laughing at your post. I enjoyed it as for the most part I agree with you.
