He said he had almost given up<br \/>on therapists but since I presented a strong case<br \/>for one in my course he wanted to have an open mind.<\/p>\n<p>I do agree with most of what he said.<\/p>\n<p>I must say, I have found there are a ton of therapists<br \/>with absolutely positively no clue about how to help<br \/>someone with bipolar disorder or many other mental illnesses.<br \/>I have no idea why they even &#8220;market&#8221; themselves as having<br \/>knowledge they don&#8217;t have.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why, if they don&#8217;t know much about bipolar disorder,<br \/>and can&#8217;t really help someone, why they don&#8217;t tell them no<br \/>I wouldn&#8217;t be able to help you.<\/p>\n<p>I do consulting for private equity firms that invest in<br \/>companies. Every now and then I get a potential assignment<br \/>on something I don&#8217;t know anything about. This happen last<br \/>week. So what did I do? I said &#8220;I can&#8217;t take this<br \/>assignment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You should be aware that many therapists that are not<br \/>qualified to help with not do this. This is the truth.<br \/>And guess what? Since I told you this, I am going to<br \/>get a bunch of therapists get all mad at me because<br \/>they feel I shouldn&#8217;t tell you things like this.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll say what I am telling you is &#8220;harmful&#8221;, &#8220;dangerous&#8221;,<br \/>&#8220;wrong&#8221;, &#8220;not true&#8221;, etc. In the old days when I was younger<br \/>and had more energy, I would call and debate with them how<br \/>they had no idea what they are talking about and the truth<br \/>is important unless you are in a cult.<\/p>\n<p>The last time I said something about how SOME, NOT<br \/>all therapists use a strategy that causes people<br \/>to pay more money than they need to for help, I got<br \/>almost attacked my several therapists.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like, you know many mortgage people are borderline<br \/>crooks. We would be kidding ourselves if believed<br \/>all mortgage people are honest, tell the truth,<br \/>do the right thing. So if you had a kid 18 going<br \/>to get a mortgage, would you tell him to trust<br \/>and believe everything the mortgage man\/woman says<br \/>or would you say doubt and verify?<\/p>\n<p>You know, when you tell the truth or the real deal<br \/>people get mad at you. It&#8217;s really sad. In mental<br \/>health it&#8217;s completely like this. You rarely get<br \/>good information you can use. Over the two years,<br \/>I have been doing this, I have received so much<br \/>bad information it&#8217;s hard to believe. I almost<br \/>don&#8217;t believe it.<\/p>\n<p>You want to hear something REALLY crazy I was told.<br \/>Actually it&#8217;s so crazy and disturbing I can&#8217;t even<br \/>tell you. Just forget it, it&#8217;s not important.<\/p>\n<p>I try as best as possible to get real and useful<br \/>information.<\/p>\n<p>I setup my sites and courses to do this. I am<br \/>lucky that I don&#8217;t have to please everyone and<br \/>anyone to make this work. I don&#8217;t get government<br \/>grants. I don&#8217;t get money from big giant drug<br \/>companies that can control how I write and<br \/>what I say.<\/p>\n<p>I think there are a number of people that don&#8217;t live<br \/>in the real world. Some ask me why I don&#8217;t give away<br \/>my information for free. I don\u2019t because I have huge<br \/>costs and have to pay for things. I couldn&#8217;t only<br \/>do this if I were getting money from someone or<br \/>something thing. If I was, you better believe this<br \/>site would not have the kind of information it has<br \/>on it now.<\/p>\n<p>It would look like all the other sites out there with<br \/>information that is of little to no use for you.<\/p>\n<p>AND before someone sends me an email saying they<br \/>know how I can get money or get a grant, etc. Please<br \/>don&#8217;t send it because you know what happens with this<br \/>money? Well eventually they can take it away. SO, when<br \/>I started all of this, I said it would be SELF SUSTAINING<br \/>and I would not be controlled by anyone and have to<br \/>wonder if they money would be there next week.<\/p>\n<p>When you are looking at any information on mental health<br \/>always ask, who is funding it? Don&#8217;t you think that&#8217;s a<br \/>good question.<\/p>\n<p>But back to my point of this email.<\/p>\n<p>If you got my courses\/system you know I believe<br \/>in therapy. I think that it works well for people<br \/>with bipolar disorder. I have seen the success stories.<br \/>I have interviewed many people who feel therapy<br \/>has helped them a ton.<\/p>\n<p>My mom thinks it&#8217;s helped her significantly.<\/p>\n<p>My mom actually has a new therapist. She felt that<br \/>she had moved beyond her old therapist. I really<br \/>liked her old therapist a lot. I don&#8217;t know<br \/>the new guy that well but I am going to be meeting<br \/>with him really soon. I just have been super busy.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line is people have to pick a therapist<br \/>that&#8217;s good for them not good for me or someone<br \/>else.<\/p>\n<p>I HIGHLY recommend using the same level of seriousness,<br \/>you would use to find a doctor, to find a therapist.<\/p>\n<p>In all my main systems\/courses, I go over this in fine<br \/>detail. I am NOT trying to keep it from you. I can&#8217;t<br \/>paste 40 pages of written material in here and also<br \/>have all the forms I used. Not to mention post audio<br \/>in an email so that&#8217;s why I can&#8217;t go over everything<br \/>from a to z in this email.
