Hey, your lovely sounding treatment of patients aside, I don't wanna miss this lol, are you saying you as a therapist give your own psychiatrist fake home addresses for yourself, one specific reason being so that they cannot involuntarily commit you...?

That would be hilarious, sobering, and several other things I don't really have words for. It's like doctors who broadly seem to agree that end of life "care" is a travesty and have their own exit plan that doesn't involve it.

(To be clear I'm not at all implying hypocrisy from you whatsoever, in case that could possibly be read into my comment, you made it clear you refuse to do the thing you're taking interesting steps to avoid)

Therapists and psychologists are the craziest out of all of us.

[-] Benjaben@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Well...I kind of agree and already know, but I think that joke and semi-truth, taken too far, can be borderline disrespectful and diminishing of their work. I say that with a life full of folks connected in various ways, I assume your comment comes from a similar place.

Yes, it's something I've heard from the psychologists themselves. They seem to take a certain pride in it, or at least the ones I've known have. I didn't intend to diminish the work they do, which is to provide a critical service towards our understanding of humanity.

Probably me just being sensitive, cheers!

It's a fascinating field of study, and my psychology, sociology, and anthropology classes were some of my favorite classes in college. My psych 101 class was like someone lifting a veil from my eyes.
