What's the worst thing a psychiatrist has said to you?...

I felt uncomfortable after I told the only story I had that fit the bill. Maybe I even saw myself through the shrink's eyes for a minute and felt a little exposed. It wasn't even my doctor but my exhusband's. It was at least 40 years ago.

I think that sometimes therapy needs to be a little uncomfortable. Shrinks need to help one dig out from under, ineffective coping mechanisms, that make one feel like, someone taking an infant's security blanket. It can be down right painful. With the right support that pain can be cathartic. If it were easy it wouldn't be necessary.
