Maybe if you worked in your bedside manner? Nobody likes a psychologist who they feel is judging them harshly. Think of these people with issues as being like 12 year old kids. Sometimes you just have to sugarcoat things for "kids" if you really want to help them and not make them worse.People seem to take me even LESS seriously when I try to sugar-coat what I say. At least I know that when they react negatively to what I say -- even when I am only repeating what they have already said -- I know that I have come close to the truth.
Those people want to be told that they are nice people, good people, wonderful people; they want to hear how they were in the right for doing something wrong; they want to believe that they live in a perfect world where everyone approves of their actions no matter how deeply they have hurt themselves by their own actions.
And when I don't fulfill their unrealistic expectations, they turn on me and tell me that their misery is somehow all my fault.
Stupid people.
