Honestly that is something hard about being a therapist. I get the "it's your job" argument, but lots of us have jobs these days where you have to put in way more hours than you're comfortable with just to make rent. I'm pretty sure the specific psych was just a PoS but I can see scenarios where it genuinely just sucks.
im still reeling over that enby person sheltering trans kids that had been abused complaining about the emotional labor they gotta put in
That wa so crazy. Like damn, I'm shocked that teenagers who had a rough life don't have perfect control of their emotions.
Another good (?) one was the psychologist complaining about patients "trauma dumping"
my opinion of therapists drops every day :blob-no-thoughts:
Psychiatrists* are for giving you 'back to work' drugs and nothing more
Psychologists are for passive listening for rich people without friends

This one was just a psychologist smugly mentioning that patients would "traump dump" on the first session
That's a good way to make thousands of people even more insecure about seeking help
