That is funny. I cut my own hair now and it looks awesome.

I used to use my hair stylist as a therapist. I'd just talk on and on about myself and get plenty of attention, that way I didn't feel bad about paying $23 for the "Hair Cut".

What an excellent idea! I would yap at my hairdresser about my trials and tribulations, but she's more dysfunctional than I am!!! Why I let her near my head with a pair of scissors is beyond me!!!
Just wondering what people think about counseling. Have any of you had a counselor who just completely changed your world from crappy to wonderful? I see a lot of folks recommend counseling to others on this board and wonder how that works out for y'all.
My personal experience was that after my ex-fiance walked out on me less than 3 weeks before our wedding, a couple of my friends suggested that I see a counselor. I found one and saw her for about two months, once a week for 50 minutes, until she moved out of town and closed her practice.
Anyway, for 50 minutes each week I had someone other than my girlfriends to cry and vent to, but that's about all I got for my (insurance's) money. I don't think she helped me move on from that relationship any faster than if I'd just relied on my friends and family for support.
Thoughts?
I'm with you, I think counseling is worthless. But thats just me. I think its mainly for weak people that need someone to talk to. I dont need that. I know who I am and what I want and do not want. If I need someone to talk to, I'd rather talk to myself...HA
I dont think counseling helps with relationships either. Either the two people are smart enough to cope and fix whatever the issue(s) are, or they're not and the relationship will fail anyway. Its sad that people who have been married for like 10 years, have kids, etc and they dont even know how to communicate to each other. Um, shouldnt you know how to communicate with a person BEFORE you marry them?
Counseling only works after people apply themselves to change. Counselors are really just people trained to guide you to apply your own strength and courage to a problem. That's how I see them.
These two jobs are often combined for all practical purposes considering how annoyingsome yapping hairdressers can be.
Hilarious. I use the "Great Clips" (or other chain haircutting place) coupon when it's in the Sunday paper. As if it matters for a guy's haircut. You get what you pay for. For $8.99, you get an ok haircut and someone who you would NEVER tell your problems to. In fact, I've had some cutters (insert name of chain haircutting place) that are about as interesting as a door knob to talk to. Turns out, you only spend 15 minutes there and having such a banal conversation can be trying.
