The key to good mental health

What I don't get is why some people who see therapist insist on being stubborn assholes about it.I mean they DO realize that the person is getting paid by the hour don't they?
They aren't going to break down and cry because you condensend to them like you may do to a friend of loved one, they aren't going to get on their knees and beg you to talk to them like some weak willed spouse, in fact they are trained to be as emotionally detatched from you as possible otherwise they would go insane from listening to countless crybabies and nutcases.

No, they are there to determine what the fuck is wrong with you and take the steps necessary to help you get better and even if they don't find out what's wrong with you or you insist on being a douchebag, they are still going to cash in your check at the end of the day.

Personally I would handle things a bit differently. I mean obviously something is wrong enough with me to be talking to a shrink in the first place so I may as be as accomodating as I can.

Besides...I'm paying this quack 100 bucks an hour so you can bet your ass I'm gonna get my money's worth. I don't know about those other dumbasses but I can't afford to piss away thousands of dollars a week and even if I could, I wouldn't!
Saving money will be my prime motivation to get better as soon as possible.

I don't care what steps I would have to take. I'll spill every deep dark secret I ever had, I would tell the secrets of everyone I knew, hell, I would create an imaginary friend, make a whole bunch of secrets for him/her and tell them all to the counselor if it led to my recovery.

The sooner the therapist lady/dude can diagnosis my problem and tell me what I need to do or whatever pharmacuticals I need to start poppin', the sooner I can stop stuffing my hard earned money in their overpriced pockets.

That's why being a cheap ass is the key to mental health
