We all know you’re the client. The only time you’re the mental health professional is when you play role reversal with your doctor.
Again, as a mental health professional, I find your direct reference to the people I work with as 'nuts' as completely reprehensible and not something I would have expected from a professed Christian. Sure, you can dismiss this with your trademark trolling or you could get over yourself and retract your comments.
Failing that, kindly explain why personal remarks about your mother are not acceptable (not that I have ever done so) but personal comments about the vulnerable people I work with are okay.
I hope you take the time to reflect, before posting. If not, this will be our last exchange.

Originally posted by @dj2beckerNo, I am neither a psychiatrist or a psychologist. (And have made this clear more than once). I have already shared that I manage a multi-disciplinary mental health team in London, that includes clinical psychologists. I have over 20 years experience in this field and enjoy my job very much. I hope you can say the same.

This info is in the public domain as I have shared it with genuine people here that I respect and in the course of normal conversation. You are not somebody I would choose to share personal info with and have no actual interest in what I do.. Go pester somebody who cares.
