Any time I learned about psychology and psychiatrists in high school and college, I alwys wanted to visit someone like Freud, lie on a couch, and have him analyze my dreams and have him tell him everything crazy about me. I always wanted that "stereotypical" therapy experience.

However, I had two shrink consultations, and they tried too much to be my friend and too personal and I never went back. I guess I wanted more of a text book experience.

What about you all?

I don't want someone trying to be a friend.

I've gone through many. None of them want to adopt the "old" approach. They think it's outdated. And they'd prefer to try to empathize when there's no way they could.

How do psychiatrists operate now? What is the current standard?

I've never gone through therapy. I can't even speculate.
