The Shrink Is In

It is a rather annoying habit of a shrink(slang for psychologist) to dig deeper into your mind everytime you make a statement, no matter how simple or insignificant it is.
However, in the process of cursing the shrink's analysis, you are so caught up by the sometimes repulsive comments that you don't realise it's equally irritating for the shrink to break down your thoughts each time you voice them or each time you don't.

The process is automatic for the psychologist. In fact, one of the reasons the person began to develop an interest for the subject was because of the heightened analytical skills. The skills that enabble the shrink to make snap judgements, see beyond your words, think beyound your thoughts and feel beyond your expressions.

It takes immense experience to control and differentiate between the situations that need to be disected and those that should'nt. As mentioned above, it is a spontaneous process that has been enhanced and trained for years and to deviate from it would be a challenge.

This demarcation is the first challenge a psychologist or a student of psychology faces. it is annoying for the shrink to consatntly see what isn't laid out in front of the naked eye. Some students think its insanity thats driving them up the wall but it is in fact, the cursed blessing that they must carry throughout their lives.

They must carry the burnden of the people who confide in them, the secrets they share, the mistakes they refuse to accept, the delusions they create. All this and much more the shrinks carry through their life along with their own baggage. Yet, there are some of us who refuse to understand this twisted blessing of a shrink and we want them to butt out. We do not enjoy having them in our heads sometimes and believe me, if they could escape for a while, they most definitely would but till then, the shrink is in.
