psychologist


Question Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 9:20 pm

I wanted to ask what do you think of a male psychologist who acts more like a friend to his client. He would say things to his client "Your boss really hates you", "Dont trust your boss" (the only reason the boss was mean was because he missed his old secretary and wanted her back so he acted mean to the new one hoping the new secretary would quit) and the psychologist would say "I think you should give up your coworker as a friend, she gives you terrible advice she is going to get you fired" I mean if you gave up a friend every time they gave you bad advice you would not have any friends. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST?

The psychologist shouldn't be giving advice like that. A psychologist's job is to help his client figure out what to do, not to give orders, and especially not negative ones like you mentioned.

I would find a new psychologist, one that would help me help myself, rather than telling me what to do.

Psychologists are supposed to be un biased and look at the situation with optimism. Yours sounds pretty negative, and more like a friend than a professional. You could just talk to anyone and get that opinion, but I suggest you seek help elsewhere, because pyscologists are meant to be positive, help you move forward in your life, understand, be a listening ear, help you make the best of a situation and not the worst, and just give professional advice that can really better your life. The guy your seeing now doesn't seem like that, but its just my opinion.

Good luck!

He sounds pretty negative to me. I think I would consider seeing someone new.

I mean they don't have to agree with everything and its OK if they are friendly but you want a doctor thats going to help. When it comes right down to it
if you don't feel one doctor is helping you go find one that will. Don't throw away good money on one you don't like. :)
