LOL...I couldn't do it because I'm not down with the "let's talk it out" crap and the "I-statements"
The whole "when you do this, it makes me angry"...Ef that. How about "when you do that....you're an a-hole!! I'm going to Target to cool off. Find your own damn dinner" That's how I roll.
LOL, I was watching some show about Wynonna Judd and her mom and all of the problems and issues between them.
It was hilarious and annoying after a while listening to all of that "therapy speak" she was doing with the type of interactions you just mentioned.
I mean I have never heard someone speak the way Wynonna Judd was.... it was sort of bizarre after a bit.......
You can tell she's spent some serious time in front of a therapist.
Yes, as long as they weren't obnoxious about it. I was friends with one (he was a fellow player on a local just-for-fun sports league my ex was on and became a mentor to him). Absolutely great, caring guy. Kinda became a father figure to me as well. I don't think someone's profession has a direct correlation with them being a bad or good person. Unless they're a hitman or something
Never dated a psychologist, but was banging a chick that worked in pathology, had three degrees and one of them was psychology.
Our sexual behavior together became increasingly more extreme and as a result she started saying I had 'fetishes' etc, and she was analyzing my childhood, claimed I liked dominating women (and degrading them) sexually as a psychological response to being controlled by Catholic nuns during my childhood/school years.
uhh real psychologists know that this is just a sexual preference or interest and there's nothing wrong with it as long as its SSC (safe, sane, consensual) she sounds like she's just an annoying know it all (who doesn't actually know much) :P

Most of the women I got to know well in school who were psych majors probably had the most issues. It is very odd. It's like they are trying to diagnose themselves. I definitely wouldn't want any of them being my psychiatrist.
I'm a psychologist. To the best of my knowledge I've never had a woman refuse to date me based solely on my education/occupation, but it's possible they did and didn't tell me. Some of them seem to find the high level of education and "professor" thing (I also teach) to be a turn on, but frankly most view it as no different than any other middle-income white collar graduate degree "professional" job-- which is fine with me.
If anything, we psychologists in the dating world have to be on the lookout for people who are (consciously or not) attracted to us because they need a shrink more than they need a romantic partner (which never ends well), but we learn to recognize them and screen them out most of the time.
I've dated a few fellow psychologists, and fellow psych grad students when I was in my doctoral program. I didn't find them to be either universally fun or universally not fun. They were different people with different personalities, as you'd expect. I wouldn't rule out dating them, but I wouldn't specifically seek them out, either.
