I babble a lot, as well. Releasing pent up frustration in many ways.
My doc sent me to a 'counselor'/psychologist because she felt that the amount of stress in my life at the time needed 'evaluating'. She felt that I was self-serving, and anxious, and jumped on everything- including conclusions.
We both agreed that I was a bit hyper, but I said I felt OK ... she was leaning more towards manic...... so off to a counselor I go.
I had more education, more life experience., and more success dealing with stress - than any patient he had dealt with in a long while. He felt my coping mechanisms (playing & singing music, acting, volunteering in the community) were adequate for my needs and after 3 visits, we both decided that it was a waste of both our times... and my co-pay money. When a psychologist says you don't need to visit with him, you're either OK, or so far off the radar that it doesn't matter anymore ;-)
