Yes, and they tell some confused, vulnerable person what THEY BELIEVE and the person goes full speed ahead with it. All they needed was "guidance". Not in ALL cases, but all to often that is the case.

I am sorry for the suffering anyone has had to face because of it.

That is why companions/providers are so awesome! We provide the therapy! No advice to wifey and hubby goes home happy.

'Nuff said!!

I know a load of people (esp. girls in the business) who latch on to charismatic or cut rate unorthodox therapists when they need to see top quality doctors even if they do cost more...

And lordy, there are more than enough idiots in this world.

The take home lesson is shop carefully for a therapist. Many are crazier than their client base. Many have weird sexual problems.

But, yeah, some of my best times have been with women who were very upfront about having a good counselor to help them put life into perspective. Many had abandonment issues.

WE ladies *ARE* the therapists for men! lol

On the other hand and sadly stated, too many female therapists are true man haters and ill-advise accordingly. Vulnerable women listen and follow the advice. Sheesh! Let ME counsel these women! lol I'll turn 'em into NYMPHS.

Kisses,

After dragging my wife to 4 therapists; 1 male and 3 female for marital therapy, and her leaving saying we couldn't afford it, she went to another female therapist who advised her to dump me. My big sin was that I had just finishied graduate school and was not fully up to speed in my new career (income potential-wise). If she had waited just another 6 months, we would have been back on track. She still regrets the divorce, and has realized the issues were deeply tied to her experiences with men while growing up. And, and I was devastated for years. This was over 16 years ago.

Well in my opinion a therapist should be very careful about suggesting divorce unless their are extremem extenuating circumstances.  Especially if they have not seen the spouse to get the other side of the story. As you suggest complex dynamics from childhood carry over into the marriage.  For me divorce was the right thing and my ex and I get along well.

Sorry you had to go trough this. Sounds like you tried very hard to save your marriage. Psychology and therapy is as much or more art than science. It can be very beneficial but their certainly are many people doing therapy who are misguided.

Too many therapists are also products of highly politicized lefty liberal graduate departments that have defined men as "oppressors" or permanently immature meat eating adolescents that pound the dashboard when listening to Rush Limbaugh... and thats coming from me as a fairly liberal guy.... I can't believe some of the cartoonish crock these so called professionals spoon feed their clients... and their clients believe it and act on it! Two bit truths spoken by self appointed authorities on subjects they know next to nothing about...

OTOH there are some fine well trained psychologists who are genuine experts and can change your life for the better.

Caveat Emptor.
