Therapy? Shmerapy
I saw a friend this morning, who told me the doubtless familiar story of her boyfriend's ex calling up and saying she was in therapy now, and she could see why they broke up, and why didn't he get into therapy, it would really help?

Wanna know the truth? I think therapy is a pyramid selling operation: all therapists are in cahoots to get a new ktichen/car/enhanced pension contributions/caribbean holiday, and that's why they say things like "you've got issues, why don't we make it three times a week?", or "perhaps your girlfriend/partner/boss would also benefit from the therapeutic process."

Call me a cynic, if you will. I've been around the block a few times, let's say, therapeutically speaking.
