Time for a leeetle rant.
So I've been really pissed off at my lady psychonalayst whilst running Stage 0. Why, you might ask? Because I believe she's hiding incompetence behind an aura of pomposity, oy! Oftentimes, in our work, her "interventions" had an anti-therapeutic effect, as in - they did more harm than good. David Shaw in his book on narcissism implied that "tough love" psychotherapy is nonsense and a symptom of systemic narcissitic tendencies of the entire psychotherapeutic establishment.
F. in. she's got this thing where she keeps implying I have a problem with boundary-setting. I do not. And she's not the only one doing so - all psychologists and psychatrists go-to piece of advice, without though basically, is "you must learn how to set boundaries". And I've been dealing with seriously abusive people and mobbers whose primary response to any *hint* of boundary setting is humiliation and revenge. These psychological idiots are failing to grasp the reality of this, furthering the humiliation. I hate them.
Even though she's been playing nice recently, I'm looking for some other psychotherapist now. Trouble is, all I see is morons or - worse yet - friggin' religiious people. And yes, I ain't working with such on enthical and moral grounds.
The entire psychiatric and psychological, and psychoanalytical, establishment has been, in my experience to date, a huge, counter-productive and inherently humiliating waste of time. In the end, I have to do everything on my own and all they're doing is *get mad at me* for trying to help myself. Ridiculous and ludicrous. ARRRRRGH HAVE AT YE IS AN ANGRY BOI RIGHT NOW. Oooph.
Hopefully this rant will make me feel better. Two and a half more months until DRS v2!
Frankly, currently I'm only attending therapy because it'd be unseemly if a person who's been through crises as serious as I *wasn't* attending therapy. Waste of time and resources in my book.
