A likely first question is, “Am I a therapist?” And, the answer is, “No”. So, you might ask, why would I post this? First of all, the phrase has negative (albeit, sexually humorous) connotations. Essentially, it is saying that therapists, like ventriloquists, get their patients to act like dummies by saying what their therapists want. Patients – as desperate, powerless, and naďve individuals – are reinforced to. The words are not really the patients’, but the therapists’. And, isn’t that what the therapeutic alliance is all about?
Let me respond to this rhetorical question by saying it is about control. More specifically, it is about the strategic acquisition of exercise of control over others.
What is this strategy about? Why would therapists want control? Aside from the psychological fear of being controlled by others (and losing control of their own forbidden thoughts, feelings, and undesirable parts of themselves), it is about money, ego, status, more power over the societal institutions of education, the family, the criminal justice system, religion, the polity and the economy, etc. It is a form of imperialism. It is a political and economic conquest.
What is the treatment caused, iatrogenic illness, false memory syndrome about? Why has it become a world-wide epidemic? It is because abuse is abuse in any culture of language? Why would therapists con? Is there absolutely no market for what they do? Do they have to create a market? Perhaps it’s about psychological slavery through extortion and fraud. The ideologists and tactics are manipulative and oppressive. An apparent goal is the mindless acceptance of propaganda.
Therapists are cons! In the real world, when you use the phrase, “take care” of someone, you mean you are paying them or tipping them. If you tell the car valet at Spago’s or The Cheesecake Factory you’ll take care of him when he parks your car, you are saying you’ll tip him (well). By the same logic, if you pay a therapist for some bullshit 50 minute hour, then you’re taking care of him or her. Don’t let them tell you otherwise!
Therapists are quite attached to their overly simplistic, separation anxiety models. Like a child with a new toy hammer, they seem to find that everything in sight needs to be hammered. But, how much variance can one truly explain with that model? I guess it would be nice if life were that simple. As political as they are, would it ever occur to them that people control others for political and economic reasons and not because they have trouble letting go (of others)? What would happen if therapists were to let go of their little anxiety models and venture into more complex areas with different conceptual tools? Let’s face it. The reductionistic (my own word) myopia of traditional therapeutic models provides an inappropriate level and unit of analysis for most kinds of behavior one finds in the real world.
Therapists are not compassionate or altruistic. They are greedy, self-interested and power hungry. And, therapy is standardized. One could easily perform a job analysis to demonstrate the standard set of job behaviors and decision-making processes involved in the practice of psychotherapy. Therapists pride themselves in their “objectivity” by claiming they are interchangeable, and any therapist would utilize the same techniques and make the same decisions. Somehow, it does not occur to them that they are consistently inaccurate due to consistently biased cognitions, perceptions and attributions. Thus, the adage, “garbage in, garbage out”, does not apply because all things are not equal. Their “throughput” for processing “input” is vitiated. More importantly, personality inventories are a product of middle class American values. It may be standard practice to use these measures, but a well-trained therapist will tell you they are not valid. Just as Nazism was legitimized by society, so too are psychotherapy and professional/psychology.
So, why post this in craigslist’s, men seeking women? I am looking for a relationship with a woman who is not easily conned by the insidious, subtle political influence of psychotherapists. If you’ve been through therapy and are familiar with the cons, then even better. But either way, I do not want a woman who is easily conned by shrinks or who is a therapy addict. Nor do I want a woman who is a therapy pusher.
Meaning if you want to talk to me, have sex with me, get over my knees and submit to a spanking, attend a movie, read to me in bed, or join me in cooking for each other, travel, you will do it on your own terms and you will do it because YOU want to, not because of another influence outside of your own heart and soul.
So, if you think you can handle independence, choice, responsibility of your own desires, and intimacy with a nice guy looking for a woman to enjoy life’s pleasures with, then hit me back with a reply. A picture would be nice.
