Psychology is the study of those who don’t need to be studied by those who do.
Nothing personal but I found that the reason why most people studied psychology at university was that they had a personal interest, i.e. they had so many problems and insecurities of their own that they had to study other people’s in the hope of finding a solution.
I remember I got off with a Vet in Australia and ended up living with her. She invited one of her friends over who was a Psychologist from Adelaide.
Within 15 mins of me talking to him he was telling me a story about how he almost got raped by his Phys Ed teacher at school.
I said to him “Listen mate, this is always going to be on your mind, counseling is bullshit. Do yourself a favour; get his address, go round and kick the living…. out of him. It will make you feel a lot better�. He of course did not do this as he preferred to wallow in self pity.

LOL..you are right to a certain degree... my husband has been "in hte trade" for 20yrs, and he has always said some of the most screwed up people he has known are psychiatrists, psychologists and many of his fellow nurses, which is a bit of a worry when you consider that he has specialized in forensic psychiatry for many years!! :scared: :scared:

There will be another meet, PP, maybe you will make it up to one of them - I'd love to meet you.
Meanwhile this one could be entertaining if both Ceri and WBB get there.........
