ok here is what this does not tell you.... after you get a masters degree you need to have over 3000 hours to then get licensed. This will take at least 2 years or so. Then you must pass the test. THEN you have to get credentialed with insurance companies ... all together from bachelors degree to actually working as a therapist will take MANY years!

I'm not interested in this medical thing. I'm just doing research for my screenplay.

or just get drug's & offer them to the need. It's very ridiculous to go through many years to get certified for a piece of paper. Yes I understand you have to gain knowledge to be careful for what you do but we all are learning & don't have the answer to get better. This system is ridiculous, I'll do what I want when I want.

you on drugs? why do you keep chewing on your tongue?

psychotherapy was by far the most past feeling evil experience I ever had in my life. I know now not to ever be a part of it and warn people that it is the break up of society.
I made a great friend and loved one during therapy only to find out that I don't exist and never did and that there is no such thing as a friend etc and my calls are blocked etc.
Fake love and friendship for money, the saddest thing.
Have true friends help u. read great books for help, but never go to a therapist.
Their ethics have them live lives like they are psychotic. They can't go to socials with u, mary you for 5 years, go to the same church as you. They are extremely disfunctional face value and this is their example. It gets worse and worse for them ethic wise because they are still trying to figure out how to make money with fake love and friendship, but it can't be done.
Don't go, go to the library and read up.
