There are too many people out there who've had maybe a couple of courses in psychology or maybe none, but think they are Sigmund Freud. They are quick to put labels on others when that trait probably indicates there is something wrong with themselves.

I was reading about the subject and one thing they said that the psychologist needs to establish with their patient is a relationship that demands openness, honesty and intimacy (not of the sexual kind). Is that something we have with anyone in our lives? I'm sure no one in my life, knew 'all' the important details of my life; even my ex. I also read that every person is unique.


That's why it usually takes several long sessions for a psychologist to try and get to know you, so don't listen to some wanna be shrink. They should probably spend more time analyzing themselves than they do others.
