repetition, um and skill building, ruddy ruddy.
So that's the the probably safe answer.
The probably less safe answer is that and it's not specific to any particular generation.
But I think as a profession we have a thing where we need to be liked or approved of.
And I think that comes through in therapy, like
we kind of want the client stepping out the door.
like you know, they need to be okay.
And I think there's an avoidance of sometimes having hard conversations and sitting in uncomfortable spaces and actually having really you know, hard conversations with
Colleagues and and clients and um and calling clients out on avoidance behaviours and safety behaviours and things like that.
It's really difficult to do because then they might fire you and not come back.
But equally it's really useful because they do get cranky.
Like I've had a number of people get cranky and they're stomping out and da da da and then it's like, you know, the next week.
wanting to come back, can we talk it through, yeah, it was fear, blah, blah, blah.
You know, that kind of stuff.
And our own I think that's a great point, Lisa, because it's also our own own reflection on us in the room as a therapist.
So like I see a lot of that combination in therapists, that unrelenting standards coupled with
approval seeking schema um and uh and sorry as a response.
And then over time that's okay, but also to know yourself as kind of like the vehicle in the room.
And I think things when it comes to things like eating disorders and O C D and pointy disorders, it's very important
to know your own stuff and what you're triggered.
