Because they ASKED for my advice, Snerd. But in all seriousness, I really don't have to justify what I do to anyone, especially not here. What I do know for certain is that people keep coming back to me. Hell, I've even had the parents of my friends call me and thank me for the improvements they've seen in their kids - ostensibly due to my counseling. Now, I freely admit I'm probably being given more credit than is deserved, but the point here is that what I do and how I do it seems to generate favorable results. In fact, it was TOO favorable. These days I only "counsel" close friends. I put up the "Doctor is Out" sign awhile ago because I couldn't deal with 4am phone calls, people inviting me to places under false pretenses (just so they could get advice), or being hauled away from parties to some quiet spot to "talk." It became too much of a drain, especially after the problems they were having became more serious. One simply does not get that kind of a response if I'm overstepping my bounds. Yes, that is true. But that's not what I do ... so I'm not sure why you brought it up. Just because someone abuses the technique does not mean the technique is invalid. Again, you're right. But there is no way to know if it will work if no one tries it. Dozens? Hundreds, perhaps? I'm by no means a professional. Often, I have thought they should seek out a professional. I can only do so much. No one is under any obligation to heed my advice (something else I always tell them), and sometimes they don't. I take no umbrage with those who go their own way contrary to what I think - it's their life, after all, and I'm not there to control it. I know, Snerds, and you're not wrong. I've found that many do already know the truth, but they're looking for validation. I can usually tell the difference between someone seeking validation and someone seeking advice and I handle both types differently. OK. Sounds good. I get what ya mean. I was just making conversation. I like to call my Sis for advice sometimes cuz she is just blunt and tells things the way they are.
