As a non counselor with a counseling degreee, (I work in a substance abuse prevention program within a community mental health center)I am constantly amazed at how overly impressed they are with themselves. I can think of no greater therapy than the ability to laugh at the absurdities in life, whether it be at yourself or the government, or someones silly analysis of a children's story. Their are always tragic horrible things to deal with in this field, thank God for someone who chose to lighten up and remind us to not take ourselves too seriously! Have a great day!
