Those are good questions. And I'm struggling with them. I mean, rationally I do know that one doesn't exclude the other. And I completely understand the choices she has made. It's just that my feelings about it seem different.
Not sure why exactly...

Me, myself, I have a lot of different passions. I can't find 'one' single thing that I want to do for the rest of my life. So who would I be to say something about a person with two jobs. I get that.

It's just irrational fear I guess... Like you say, to be dropped, left, abandoned, whatever...

We'll, as my T took 10yrs to train I can't see it being a side business. If others use it as such. I'd question their skill level and it would be that which would decide it for me.

I don't know if this counts...but my T's full-time job is as a prof. at a university in a counselor education program. That is his "9-5". His practice is small, and he sees clients in addition to his professor duties. I don't feel like he is any less of an awesome T just because he doesn't do therapy full-time. Actually, because he only has a small practice, I get more individualized attention because I am one of a few clients rather than one of many.

Well some jobs definitely require liking it/loving it and I believe one cannot do it properly if they don't like it. But it doesn't mean one can't love something else too.
