There are a lot of problems and a lot of ways to solve problems. And sometimes they work great, and sometimes they just take the edge off and sometimes they make things worse… I think that people forget that medicine (physical or mental or even spiritual!) are a practice. Which means you don’t get it perfect (or the doc doesn’t get it perfect or the spiritual advisor, or…you get it.) And you have to practice, and they have to practice, and together MAYBE you can find things that work better, or even best, for YOU.
(Lawyers practice, too, by the way!)
Other careers generally are a job, have certain outcomes expected when certain procedures are done. And while with doctors and psychologist, therapists, etc, there are some general rules of thumb that have come about over time and PRACTICE, Sometimes, they just aren’t going to work the same way for Man, Woman and child or elder. And they have pushed, and people have come to believe that they are infallible, but it’s just not true. There are some things that they are pretty near “perfect” at, MOST emergency medicine. But anything else, I’m going to shop around, because I get tired of someone on their high horse telling me that this is what is going to work, with no thought that it may not work for me. And telling me this isn’t going to work, again no matter how many times I tell them, that something works or works better.
I have yet to find a therapist that I can work with. They are very set in their “knowledge”, and I’m just a HS grad who never did anything else “educated”. Despite the life I’ve lived, places I’ve served, things I’ve done, research I’ve accomplished, and living in and with this body and mind for mumble decades.
So I have issues that would probably be helped by a good therapist that I can work with? Yes, undoubtedly, because otherwise I wouldn’t still have issues. Will I ever find someone beside my spouse that can help? Unlikely while they are set in their ways, and especially while moving in the VA system which discourages any deviation from the “formulary” no matter how much better, cheaper, or more useful for the vet.
