Introduction

[sswhateverlove]

I suppose working with clients in psychotherapy, being treated with inflated respect is probably an occupational hazard. What do you call it, transference? What a shock it must be to come here where no one starts off with credentials they can't back up on the spot. I suspect you are enjoying this just a little, sswhatever. Probably feels grounding in a way.

No, I mean, as a psychotherapist who teaches people how to have healthy relationships (which many people don't have much experience with btw), I start by teaching them to set boundaries, to expect others to always treat them with respect and not abuse them, and to assert themselves if they feel disrespected or abused. I don't encourage respect exclusive to any status, profession, or familiarity, but generalized to everyone for the sake of having healthy relationships.

Love, this isn't going well for you.

Well, that's your opinion I suppose.

I've had to assert myself, yes, some people obviously don't care for me, fine. Otherwise, I'm having some interesting discussions via my threads and I'm teaching people about respect from a therapeutic perspective.

You're assumption of how well this is going for me is noted, but you're obviously not me, so you are not an expert.

Hmm. You sounded very much like a long-since departed member who crowed about his threads being the most popular, when half of them were taken up with him being a prat and the other half with everyone else telling him he's being a prat.

Well, your opinion is noted, but the intellectual discussions via my threads are going just fine now.

Here (on my Intro page btw- hello mods?) is where people continue telling me I'm being "prat" and I feel I have to keep defending myself.

Sooo.... yeah...
