Would It Piss You Off to Have to Pay for Psychiatric Counseling, & Receive Poor Advice?

Question by Question Queen ?: Would it piss you off to have to pay for psychiatric counseling, & receive poor advice?
Like if you paid for a counseling session, & the counselor blamed you for all your problems & made it like you were the cause & didn’t tell you how to cope with your problems?

That has happened to me before, & I felt ripped off. Well I guess I should consider the source since she was a counselor “in training”. I have a counseling session today that I have to pay for, & I’m afraid to go because of that.

Is He a Professional or a Jerk ?

Question by Arianne: Is he a professional or a jerk ?
I have been so depressed so I decided to find a counselor thru internet. I live in a country wherein counseling isn’t very common. I saw a web of a center so I sent an email. After couple of days a counselor phoned me & asked about my problem . We talked for like half hour. I asked him when can I visit his center and he said better do it on phone for a while because he is busy. after 3days he called me again and asked me how do I feel, .I said I didn’t get good sleep he told me to touch myself or use a vibrator with warm oil to make me feel relax at night. I was a bit amazed! I didn’t react on what he said because I was thinking that he is an American and surely has different mentality than me with regards to that sort of thing.
I asked when can I meet him at his center so he arranged on a week end but then he called me again and said he can’t make it in his center. Instead he wanted to go to my apartment for effective counseling. Is it common?
