In reply to the election – what's your T say?, posted by badhaircut on September 8, 2004, at 11:15:49
That's a very good question that I've been thinking about myself recently. My T knows how active I am politically, and knows my views. I tend to assume that his are the same, but then again, I really don't know. I think I would hate it if I found out he was a Republican. That would just be such a disappointment to me. But also kudos to him for not letting on either way, and instead letting me project my own views onto him. I suppose I could talk to him about this phenomenon.
On the other hand, my openness with my own views might be a problem when I start internship in a few weeks. If my clients were to see my car, they would see the Kerry/Edwards car flag on it. You really can't miss it. I didn't want a bumper sticker because I don't like to use those on my car, plus it's a brand new car, and I just couldn't bear it. So hence, I got the flag. It's gets attention. I hope that wouldn't interfere with the therapy alliance with any of my clients, but perhaps I should not fly it to and from the clinic. But that goes against what I believe for myself and the very reason I got the flag. Ugh!!!!! I don't know what to do.....
