Thought about this in another thread and realized that the majority of my ts have been in private practice. I wonder how much they are attuned to the realities of the workforce?
I don't necessarily think that one has to have had x experience to understand or help, but I'm not sure Ts in private practice understand the realities of the workplace and how 'getting in touch with emotions' can adversely affect career.
Not thinking of part-time high school jobs here. But if-
4% of the population have are sociopathic and want to "ruin" a person
5% narcissistic PD
etc
...anyone will encounter coworkers who can be triggering, or who sense your vulnerabilities and though perhaps unconsciously, may exploit them, especially for those of us with past traumas related to certain personality traits.
My T gave me advice to tell my boss something, and I thought about it and thought no way--taking his advice would have likely caused me harm. Work isn't a major topic for me, so I let it go and don't generally look to his advice for such things.
But I wonder...Does your T understand how exploring intense emotions can bleed out in professional life? How might they help you indirectly with this with the constraint of such limited time 45-50 mins per week?
