for someone who claims to be oh so smart, i would think you would have a better sense of how worthless a liberal arts degree is, masters or otherwise. especially for someone like you who sure as hell doesn't have the interpersonal skills to build a patient base of their own.
If you are a therapist like you say then you know that just knowing the problem isn't even remotely close to correcting the problem. Just talking to someone about your shit and having them listen to you can be more helpful and therapeutic than any type of medicine a doctor can prescribe.
It's really not strange at all that you didn't find the therapist to help you in your first two tries. Sometimes it takes finding the right doctor that you mesh with to have things work out. Your therapist isn't just some old ass person taking in your symptoms and then spitting out a diagnosis, they should be someone who can relate with your situation and someone you get a long with. Judging by how peculiar you are it might take a couple tries to find that person. That's completely normal.
Ultimately it comes down to whether the person is willing to take the help being offered. If you're not open to it then it's all just a huge waste of time. The doctor's not there to convince you to get help, the doctor's there for you when you've convinced yourself you need help.
Yeah, I've done this dozens of times. Unfortunately you can't have a substantive discussion with her without her just flipping out and doing something irrational, which frequently means something financially self destructive.
