Hi gg,
I apologize for what Shalom wrote to you. I am apologizing because I've been traumatized by psychiatry and psychology to the point where I use neither service. I find any kind of bashing of the sort I feel you received as totally unacceptable. To assume that everyone who goes into either of these professions will traumatize others is not only a serious mistake from my perspective, but also cruel. I have met many psychiatrists and pyschologists whom I condsider friends and/ or allies. I commend you for following your calling. I wish you happiness and good fortune.

While I am not a psychiatrist, as a therapist in training, it's not a far stretch to apply your suggestion to others in helping professions when you factor in the need to be paid for our skills.
