<3. You spend all the time consoling and comforting.>
I think those who feel drawn to the profession are those who get their energy from helping others.
<6. You cannot be yoruself at all!!>
I disagree. Both my Ts were authentically themselves. In the case of my male T, having an authentic, caring man in the room with me was part of the healing process. One cannot fake caring on that deep of a level for that long. He had flaws. But he cared deeply.
But yeah, it's a tough profession. You couldn't pay me enough to do it.
