Well, I need to let out a bit of frustration right now. I just came home from the second session of an 11-week anxiety/depression education group. Due to the lack of any ongoing support groups where I live, I am in this one even though I took it a few years ago. It runs from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. which gives me incentive to get out of bed at a (for me) relatively early time.
The frustration is this: the psychologist (PhD) and therapist (MSW) who run it seem most out of touch with why the heck they are there. I am disappointed, although don't ask me why, because I should know better than to get my hopes up and expect anything better. How do these people get hired for these jobs?
I'll continue attending because with winter coming I need something and, after all, it gets me somewhere among people, and I like them so far, but !%$# I feel angry at incompetent "professionals". I could go on about how today's meeting deteriorated into major upsets, people leaving, etc., but do realize it's only the second session and hopefully will get better.
Now I have to leave for work, which is probably a good thing, because otherwise I would probably carry on complaining about this for longer than is wise.
On yeah - the reason I'm grateful: for you guys!
