You said, "Lots of people (including the pdoc who sat behind you) think that the internet is solely a dangerous place. It CAN be a dangerous place - the whole world can be a dangerous place. But just like there are some areas of a city that it isn't a safe idea to walk through, there are other areas that are just fine and wonderful. The trick is figuring out how to tell the difference."
-...It just struck me, that is, of course, very true. It is a truism that the world can be a dangerous place and there are safe areas. It is ironic that after the exposure the profession has had about its own fallibilities and pitfalls, mistakes made, dangers encountered and victims left on both side of the fence .. is this man claiming that no one in his own profession is capable of displaying good judgment in a hazardous situationh?
Shouldn't the pdoc sitting behind Deneb give a little credibility to the mentally unbalanced for being capable of displaying good judgement?
What a hypocrite. Look at Yalom, in his book, justifying his seeing a friend's wife as client. In retrospect, things that turned out well can be justified ... this pdoc knows that. Doesn't he? It's scary. I wouldn't want to be one of his patients. He would make me ill.. I'm pretty sure of that. Or maybe not, maybe, if I really really needed his boundaries, the limits he sets, the type of therapy he practices, maybe I would need those boundaries ...
How ridiculous.
Sorry, Deneb, this stuff is aggravating for me. I wish it aggravated everyone. Aaaagggghhhhhhhhhhhhh. Enough,
kissy kissy. Place nice, nice-nice Susan.I
