'I bet you analyze everyone you meet': 9-year-old classmates have schoolyard disagreement, mom accuses other mom of being 'failed parent' because she's a therapist
It is no secret that often the people who could benefit the most from some mental health support are the ones who reject the concept the most vehemently. Usually, the last thing they want is to acknowledge that they might have issues, and they often look down on those who are willing to admit to theirs or treat them.
As a result, working as a therapist can sometimes produce polarizing reactions in people who are not even clients. A job that is focused on the analysis of people can leave others insecure that they are going to face scrutiny outside of the professional environment. It can be an annoying thing to deal with, but it isn't often that it spirals into a genuine issue. However, when emotive situations come into play, it can be a factor that rears its head in an unexpected way. It is not necessarily easy to deal with.
