Mair,

i had a really corny therapist doing her internship at a free clinic and when i told her i liked to read about psychology, she said, "Oh! Bibliotherapy!"

then i had a really smart but somewhat harsh pscyoanalyst who accused me of intellectualizing everything. she said that i have a "rational ego"...she thought that i didn't talk about my feelings enough, or that when i did, i "intellectualized" them. (admittedly, i do...but that's just my style. if i didn't put some sort of rational bandage on them, they'd bleed all over the place.)
