I read many posts where people write about ''difficulty coping''. I suppose this means difficulty getting by, difficulty putting up with a bad situation. I read a post today where someone wrote about ''difficulty coping with abuse from professionals'' or something similar. I find this very disturbing, that professionals are abusive. It happens too often in my location. I have had two professionals ramming that down my throat, that I was not ''coping'' as I ''should'' and this made me ''defective''... They did not offer any ''coping strategies'' …..How exactly is that attitude supposed to help.

The Buddhist nun, Pema Chödrön, has written: "criticism without compassion can be just mean." Unfortunately a lot of so-called "professionals" have yet to learn that lesson...
