Why does it seem as though many professionals in the mental health field are very screwed up themselves?
Well la-di-da asked:
I’ve worked in the mental health field for a few years now. I’ve worked among many therapists, and have talked to countless others on the phone. Half of these people (actually probably more than half) are crazier than the patients! The ones I’m talking about have been very rude, verbally abusive, arrogant, condescending, catty, and just over all very negative. Many of these people have their own practices and see patients and I would cringe at the thought of having them as a therapist. If only patients knew….
Why do you think this is the case many times? Why do people who apparently need so much mental help themselves go into a field where they are supposed to have a healthy edge to help others?
Well here is my assessment:

Well here is my assessment:
I agree that people go into the field thinking they will learn something about themselves, “better” themselves, and have this gung-ho attitude about helping others - “I’ll be an expert because I’ve been through this” type of mentality. But this is where they get stuck - just merely learning about counseling is not enough to help heal. It is the relationship between patient and counselor that helps the healing process, and you can’t magically get the same effect just from reading the books. SO …these people end up disappointed and still “unfixed”. Just my 2 cents.

great observation!
One day you should realize that psychiatry is actually a pseudo-science practiced by ppl who are themselves just as weak and confused as their patients.

Most have problems also, and that is how they relate to their patients. Most are not very well mannered or groomed and are vey rude and controlling. Most cannot even make their own life decisions but can tell you how.Nuts fo sho!

The patient has been going through and can understand their situation.
