No, my thread WAS about that. Unfair, unreasonable people are usually ones you can walk away from. I can leave my bf, disown my friends, find another book club, stop interacting with my family, find a new car mechanic, etc. You can't always walk away from your job-the dynamics are totally different. I don't need the other stuff for survival but I do need my job to survive. Not only that, someone of that nature can crush your reputation and impact future career opportunities which can really affect one's livelihood. I don't normally look to my T for advice, but as I mentioned before, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) are a token resource. There's really little help when you get into a situation like that. Crossing my fingers it doesn't happen again.

On a related topic-I'm really surprised no one mentions therapy impacting their work. I've missed work because of processing trauma in therapy and other times have concentration problems because of things going on in therapy. I work through some intense stuff in therapy and imagine other do too and wonder how it is not a problem for others? Makes me wonder about my therapy and what I'm doing.

Sure, therapy has really helped with close relationships for me, but it can be less helpful or even harmful when it comes to work issues of a serious nature.
