You Already Know

Today I talked to Dr. Warren Harper for the first time after listening to him for years. Mainly  because he said something that I've been saying all the time. Just in simpler less complicated terms than him. But that's just part of his overall pitch. People tend to think they're being educated when they're exposed to terms they don't recognize or understand. Often those terms are created just for that purpose. To keep the average person out of the know.That's why people like Bev, David, Rico and Dr Dorothy Jeffrey. Who by the way is a psychologist too. Make such a big deal out of each other. They think they know something others don't.

Surprisingly for me he also said something that explains why mental health professionals downplay the merits of common sense. It would eliminate the need for them, especially the psychologist. It lies in the difference in a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist. Actually one of them, his opinion is his trade.It's a matter of opinion. The fact that they are called "doctor" gives their opinion more weight. I have always said this meteoric rise in the need for counseling is a result of insurance payments. Dr Harper stated he no longer maintains a practice. But the question arises. Did he really ever have one to begin with? This is almost like pimping for those weak enough to listen. You pay him to tell you what you already know.
