Once I said to my therapist "I'm sure you hear this kind of thing all the time", and she said "No, this is like top 5".

I was describing my insane in-laws for the record.
Probably you hear more of those stories because if you have a bad experience you tell everyone, while if you have a good one you don't tell ot that much.
I had a good experience doing therapy. The psychologist was a professional that applied modern psychology techniques for my case and they worked within what's expected.
