Quote of the Week: Why Self-Therapy?


THE-MENTALIST-The-Red-Box-4The Frustrated CFO's Preface:

After reading my Means of Self-Therapy post from a week ago, some bleeding hearts felt obligated to ask me, "Why not conventional therapy?"  I have to put my answer in a quote form, so that some TV addicts don't accuse me of plagiarism.  This is what actually happened.  I've been saying this shit for years and then one night, hit by insomnia, I accidentally stumbled on a random episode of The Mentalist, in which Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) repeated my sentiment about therapy (and doctors in general) verbatim.  Whoa!  It was eerie: the TV mentalist seemed to be a real mentalist, reading my mind.

"Psychiatrist: You don't like talking to doctors?

Jane: They always want to be the smartest person in the room, don't they?  When in fact that's me, obviously."
