today I'm wondering why ppl elicit help/assistance, yet don't want to hear your response or suggestions? I've learned the hard way in life that even the best of friends may ask for advice, but rather hear what they want verses the truth. I've lost alot of friends that way..but then again, i guess they aren't truly friends are they? I always ask now, do you want me to tell you the truth, do u want me to tell you what you want to hear, or do u just need someone to listen to? cause i can do all of them! :0)
So Im a an undisclosed place today and a woman notices my badge (yes I as working today) and she asks what I do for a living. Funny she could read the company and my name but not that it says intensive in home therapist/intensive in home clinician. So anyoo, i proceed to tell her what I generally do. She talks for some time about her son, her sisters kids, and every kid she knew that "acted" bad. she then asked what she should do. When do I ask for the 256.00 fee per hour? just wondering. i was at a training and the trainer stated that he never tells anyone what he does for a living because this happens to him often. I of course having to say something said that i never lie about what i do because i love it and i am proud of it. POINT TAKEN Mr cognitive behavior therapy instructor.
So why do I need to lie about something i would do for free? how do i respond when i really dont want to complete therapy with complete strangers? i mean some days, like today, yesterday, Thursday..you get the idea, i just don't want to talk about work. I am so overwhelmed and overworked right now that i rather be sitting on the couch surfing meaningless and mindless channels of shit television. Yet, I try to sit still....and find something to do.
what do you think? I think Im ADHD after reading this
Peace love and blood of Christ LOL
Interesting. I think people are searching for answers, and sometimes the questions have none. But they want to know that someone else has the same experience as them, or maybe even worse. People get immersed in their own lives and sometimes isolated. It's good to spend the time to connect if you have it. I'm not terribly patient that way, by the way!
