Yeah, actually, when you mention it, I read a story on the board about a woman who had experienced something with her therapist that would perfectly illustrate your point, hehe. I wont repeat the story here since it's not my own and thereby not mine to tell, but I think I can explain what I mean without insulting someone. In my point of view that therapist brought her own personal opinion of unfaithfulness into the session in such a way that she hurt her patient. A trained and self reflected therapist would understand that the aim of therapy doesn't include her own feelings about unfaithfulness.
I have enjoyed the conversation between us, I think you have managed to correct my fadese of being arrogant in a very tolerable way ;-) I have been at many other internetboards where such discussions tends to end in immature personal attacks, but this is so much more constructive for your brainscells. You get to learn something about someone else AND yourself, what could be better?
I wonder though what you think of the certain aspect in hinduistic thought: that theres a difference between psychological age and chronological age. With this it's meant that some people seem all their life to be more mature than their chronological age would suggest, and thereby their psychological age is higher than their chronological age, and so they show more wisdom. It can also be the other way around, that someone is younger psychologically than chronologically.
I find this thought very fascinating, and if it is not in hinduism I am sorry... I think it is, but I am not good enough in the different religions to claim that it is. The thought is fascinating whatever religion it is :-)
