Well, technically, she's in Criminology I think. So she's more accustomed to analyzing serial killers and not so much diagnosing wannabe reality TV stars...
I'd met a jail counselor who was very well-credentialed. My husband works in the Criminal Justice field and is trained for mental health. I think she had a Masters, but she was definitely overqualified for her position there, but she had worked with inmates for a good number of years. She had been in my home as we were doing a favor for her, but while she was there it got increasingly uncomfortable as she made it more clear she did not like to be challenged on the most basic of things (especially seeing as she was clearly a professional) and she made that known at every step. We'd never have her back over after that. Very unhappy person.
I have other examples, but they're all similar like that, as in they hate being questioned. We had a very long time friend who went into Music Therapy in the later years of our friendship (we'd known her from our teen years). She also went on to pursue a Masters. It got to a point where if we questioned too much some opinion she held in high regard (especially when politics flared up here), she somehow equated that with us questioning their expertise, and we'd noticed over the years that more and more of our friend group got labeled toxic and was discarded as such. There was always a feeling of walking on eggshells when we were around that person, but it was hard to pin it down too specifically in their behavior, because their dislike for things or how other people might think about something was always framed around how someone else was behaving immorally (always something to do with with their morals)... but if you asked questions, it was framed using psychology or some research on this thing over here... so it was never made to seem like it was her actual opinion on anything... |
