I laughed when you said rural areas grow some really bizarre people w/stuff the DSM could hardly explain. That is SO true. I have stories people would never believe. We always say we couldn't make this shit up. :) Thanks again Thanks for the comment. I laughed when you said rural areas grow some really bizarre people w/stuff the DSM could hardly explain.

When i started seeing clients it was so weird! my first client was the MI husband of an employee!!! it went against everything ethical i'd learned-no dual relationships! i'd see clients in the grocery store, dr. office. people i knew would ask for therapy as a joke. the only good part was the variety and oddities of the clients. Rural areas grow some really bizarre people w/stuff the DSM could hardly explain. one other thing: i did some great work there. roll w/it and good luck to you!
