RE: Prescribing a symptom - or how doing exactly what has become a problem, can help the problem. Huh?
This is an interesting take on this how to go about a problem. It looks as if you are a psychologist. That should be an interesting job as no day is ever the same!
Thank you. No, I am not a psychologist but a consultant. Though my education had a huge therapeutic part and many hours of practicing. I am still thankful for the teachers I had. They were just excellent. During the years I got proof of the methods and lost the kind of tensed attitude of the beginning phase.
My working days do have routine, though - but you are right, I see many different people and hear very interesting biographies and narratives.
Hearing the different history of people could help lessen the monotony associated with jobs with crazy routine.
She once said, she met 2.000 people in the last 6 years due to her job. Isn't that awesome?
That is an amazing number of people. Wow.
:) it sounds much, thx @antikesdenken for mentioning it. But in five years (not six ;-)) the number is relatively small - on purpose. Because seeing too much people doesn't do good; at least for me. I need time to do other things in between and to stable myself in order to stay balanced. Once in a while I get caught by very sad and heart breaking narratives.
But also then I am impressed an touched by stories which are actually unbelievable. I am very honored by the trust people give me.
... you got me talking:)
But isn't more people more business? People do open up to counselors. It is amazing the things you would experience.
for sure. But I like to have less clients but more quality and money for a single session instead.
I am not so much after the experience as after having the assurance that I was of service and could make a difference in a persons life. The experience though is a really appreciated add on - it feeds my fantasy & inspiration.
I like to joke about my profession or service that I am there for a client to make myself unnecessary.
I understand this perspective; quality service over money. It is a job that brings a sort of fulfilment of being able to help out someone in need.
"balance" is what I would call it, when money & quality meet a healthy middle ground. My work gives me a lot of insights of my strong & weak points and where I have to work on myself.
Did you find a path in what is important to you for yourself, if I may ask?
I found out long ago, been following the path.
