While there are some incredibly caring,, insightful, healing people working as psychologists and psychiatrists
a whole lot of the rest of them are in the field because they are confused or disturbed themselves (I personally know several)
and EGOS don't get me started on egos in that profession.
Now I also believe that someone who has been there is probably most able to communicate the trick is they have to have been there and then found ways to cope, and overcome.
