As a psychologist, my first job was working in a small clinic. One of my patients was a pleasant woman who needed emotional support because of some recurring health problems. After six months of treating her, I was really impressed with my work. In one session, my patient was reviewing her career and personal accomplishments over the last 50 years as a way to boost her self-esteem. Suddenly she paused and looked at me. “Honey,” she asked sweetly, “what was it again that you do for a living?”
我的第一個(gè)心理醫(yī)生的工作是在一個(gè)小診所里。我的一個(gè)病人是一個(gè)可愛的女人。她由于反復(fù)生病需要一些情緒上的支持。我給她治療了六個(gè)月,我對自己的工作很有成就感。在一次治療中,為了提升她的自尊,讓她回憶50年來她的職業(yè)和個(gè)人成就。突然,她停住了,看著我,甜甜地問:“親愛的,你再說一遍,你是靠什么謀生的?”
