Spirituality and psychiatry, although both being the scam they are, should stay their own entity. Being similar, the psychiatric game is one person talking to you so you can get the answers you think you need to hear to get to a better place and spirituality, one person talking to you so you can get the answers you think you need to hear to get to a better place, seems to be the trend of this millennium.

People don't talk to one another any more and that is a part of the problem. Finding someone to talk to is easy but finding someone that is willing to listen is another all together. We pay people to listen but as long as they lead you on and tell you what you wish they would say is foolish and to put spirituality and psychiatry in the same room would be another scam all together.

We all want happiness and all we need to be happy is someone to share but so many people are tricksters and scam artists today that we trust no one. If a psychiatrist starts aiming you towards religion then it is on his agenda and visa versa. If you think you need to see someone and pay them to talk to you then so be it but never the twain shall meet unless we have a third party, maybe call that profession, Shrinkalegion. Just find yourself a good soul to share views with and you wont have to deal with this matter and pay through the nose for nothing more then someone pretending to listen to your problems.
