I got a new therapist a couple of months ago, and she initially turned out to be pretty good. Unlike my previous therapist, my current therapist actually let me talk and rarely interrupted me. But yesterday, those good times came to a crashing end. When I asked her how to deal with rejection, she basically said I should just get back up, dust myself off and try again. I don't know about you, but I've heard that expression about a quadrillion times! In other words, I again have to deal with a therapist who is not as smart as I am!

I guess therapists these days don't need to be so educated since most Americans today seem to be less informed than the previous generation. Therefore, I may be required to look for a therapist who IS smarter than I am or just quit therapy entirely. Whatever the case, the dumbing down of America is really, really boring to me.
