So I went to the psychiatrist today

[cbwm1]

Very inappropriate. I'd find someone else.

[Deleted]

Very inappropriate. And odd.

[vicky]

ech. not appropriate at alllll

[trixiedicksnatch]

Totally inappropriate. I'm sorry.

[Deleted]

She's insane. I hope you find someone else soon!

[callalily]

Ridiculously inappropriate. I'm so sorry Find someone else ASAP.

[isabel]

Uhhhh. Unless this person is very aware that you are a highly religious person (which, clearly she's not), it's so completely out of bounds.

[Deleted]

Uhm, isn't that reportable? Because WOW!

[bab]

UGH I'm sorry. What a nightmare. I went to a counselor like that once. She was such a tool.

[Deleted]

Um wut? I assume you weren't seeking counseling at your church? Yeah, not appropriate for a non-religious counseling session.

[rosiebear]

Holy shit, that's so inappropriate!

I mean, maybe if she'd explored your religious beliefs first and thought that would be comforting to you, it wouldn't be entirely wrong, but ... Nah, still totally wrong. I'd be looking for a different therapist.

(I went to a therapist today, too, for the first time. The King never came up. )

[kristinschmistin]

WUT? That's totally weird! Find a new one.

If you can't get in with the DR, then see if there is a nurse practitioner at a psych office you can get in with. They can administer meds and also are qualified therapists as well. I started seeing mine to manage meds, and then found out she was also a therapist so it's perfect.

[underwaterrhymes]

Not just inappropriate, but really fucked up.

[themoneytree]

Holy shit. Unfuckingbelievable.

[juliagoulia]

Eeesh it's not only weird- it's actually shitty. 

[UMaineTeach]

not cool, unless somehow you miss read her ad she needs to not show a bias

[eb777888]

The fuck??

[awick14]

No doctor should be involved in religious aspects of your life!

[sonrisa]

Not okay. My husband has clients who are actual nuns and would never presume to tell them what was god's will and god's plan.

[mcsangel2]

Whoa. I would have actually left the appointment after that.

Even when I characterized myself as a practicing Christian, I never believed in the whole predestination stuff.

I thought she meant Elvis.

But either way that's weird. Sorry, I hope you can find a therapist that works better.

Damn it! I was gonna make an Elvis joke...

[Booze Raccoon]

Oh God (pun intended).  Find a new doc.  Sorry.

[hisno1girl]

Whenever someone says "The King" I think about Elvis, not Jesus.

The doctor's comments were totally out of line.

[FishChicks]

I guess you now know why she was the only one with enough time on her hands to answer the phone! I hope you find someone better soon.

[VillainV]

Yikes. Have you considered notifying her state licensing board?

[SKP82]

WTF? That is really messed up.

It is difficult to find good mental health professionals. Can your therapist or PCP give you a recommendation for a psychiatrist?

This made me laugh hard enough that I farted.

[ginger]
