"In just the past few years, psychologists have identified a number of issues that are, in effect, male versions of the gender-identity issues that so many mothers face in the work force: the self-doubt of being a stay-at-home father, the tension between being a provider and being a father, even male post-partum depression."
Have fun...

There is no money in that advice. Thirty second sessions can’t justify big bucks from the needful.

I should have known. After all I think I coined the phrase “Simplifying is a complicated process.”

It’s ultimately the faith based counselors (of either gender) that do the best. With no Goal, it’s rather hard to aim at it.
To: TigersEye
One thing I’ve learned is that you are often what you do.
The best thing to do with unpleasent memories and the difficulties in handling them is ask yourself, “What would you do if you didn’t have this experience?”
Then go do that very thing.

That is an interesting thought. I will have to contemplate that and see if I can find something to apply it to. Not too many things bother me anymore but something is bound to come up whether new or something old resurfacing.

It doesn’t even have to be bad memories. It can simply be situations that your acting or reacting in ways that you aren’t happy with.

I don't think I would be good at therapy because I just realized you can re-size this window that you type your post into and I am content enough about that.
I would probably just fall asleep. I can do that at home.

I see, yes, that makes sense. A way to deal with neurotic patterns of any kind. Followed by reflection on the results I can see how that could be very effective.

I have found that people who enter that profession are the ones most in need of it.

That is often very true.
They tie their self worth to whether somebody likes them or not.

It is also the root cause as to why they vote liberal and why liberals tend to use playground tactics when dealing with people they don’t like.

Heard more than thirty years ago that three fourths of psychiatric patients are women. But then, I’ve always heeded this advice:
“Out here, pilgrim, a man learns to solve his own problems.”
