But saying "just think more positively" to someone with depression is like saying, "just make more insulin" to someone with diabetes.
What, you mean that if you have diabetes you can't just make more insulin? That's too much! I really do like that comparison! :)
You would think that someone in this specific field of training would be a bit more sympathetic to the feelings of the clients. One would hope anyway....
My Pdoc is usually great in that he doesn't try to give undo advice or old cliches. I have questions and he has answers. Very cut and dry. That's what I have come to expect. But, he is also very reassuring. Today I had a particular situation in which the mood stabilizer I am taking may have potential side effects that may make it unavailable for me to continue with. He was very reassuring and convinced me, as best he could, that those side effects wouldn't happen to me. Still crossing my fingers but he did a good job. I suppose I got lucky with my therapist and Pdoc.
