Hi @Zoffiel
Bloody hell - a few years training and they treat their ''patients'' like s bit of the paper they use to write on !
I guess we have to seek someone with their own ''life experience'' and I do agree with @Afraser that they have to be the right fit or it won't work. If they sit there with a critical view or condescending attitude it won't work.
Despite reservations I allowed a case worker to refer me to one - she rang yesterday and I was in the Dr waiting room so asked if we could talk later in the day or tomorrow (i.e. today) - yep, you've guessed it, no call. I do not expect one now. Ho hum.
As you say, most of us are normally able to help ourselves but at the time we do reach out we would hope to get better service.
Keep up your sense of humour, though.
