Just came out of social work school and started working in the city... your video "Why I Quit Being a Therapist" is playing as I write this and it's ringing a lot of bells for me. Your comments about parallel process w/r/t supervisors simultaneously pathologizing supervisees and clients is exactly what I've been experiencing, from my field placements to my current job. It's recently been "suggested" to me by my supervisor to 1) teach one of my clients about boundaries because he's "creepy", 2) consider that one client who is personable and likes to talk with other staff is actually just manipulative, and therefore has a personality disorder, and 3) to find a way to medicate a client who doesn't want it, but insurance won't do X if he isn't participating in psychiatric services so... It's an iron hand in velvet glove industry - no surprise there - but I'm actually less confident about being able to navigate this game than I was when I was working outside social services, in a more "cutthroat" line of work. Thanks for being on the other side and open about your experiences. Helps me to see that the current tunnel I've entered doesn't necessarily have to go on forever!
