The therapist is a personality characterized by privacy and the ability to read the thoughts of others. The therapist is highly creative and idealistic, always searching for a meaningful path through which to live his life. He is driven by his values and always seeks peace and comfort for everyone.
He is also sympathetic and compassionate, dreaming of helping all people. He has a wide imagination and artistic talent, and this often translates into high linguistic and writing skills. He can be described as an easy-going, selfless, adaptable, patient and loyal person. Personal tendencies: introverted, intuitive, emotional, and indulgent. The therapist is an idealist according to Cressey's theory of temperaments. The percentage of therapists, according to a study conducted on a sample of the American population, ranges between 4-5%.
Overview of the therapist's personality:
The therapist's main state is internal, and through it, he deals with things according to his feelings about things. The secondary case is external, where the therapist deals with and decides according to his intuition. The therapist is more likely to create a better environment for people to live in. His main goal in life is to find the meaning of life for him, what role he should play in it, and how he can provide services to humanity in his life. The therapist is an idealist and seeks perfection in his life, pushing himself hard to achieve the goals he sets for himself.
The therapist has a strong intuition about people. He relies heavily on this intuition to guide him in life, and he constantly uses his discoveries in his search for meaning in his life. The therapist takes on the task of researching and discovering facts and meanings of things. For every incident and every knowledge he encounters, the therapist compares it to his value system and evaluates it to see if it will help him correct or change his path and path in life. The goal of the therapist does not always change, which is to help people have a better life.
In general, the therapist has an outlook and appreciation for others, is a good listener, and is lenient with people. Although he reserves his feelings, he has a deep interest in people and sincerely wants to understand them. This feeling is felt by others, which makes the therapist a beloved friend of others. He is emotional and affectionate with people he knows well.
The therapist hates differences and conflicts and will do whatever he can to avoid them. If he is forced to confront her, he will deal with it according to his emotions and feelings. In case of disagreements, the therapist does not attach importance to who is wrong and who is right. The therapist focuses on the feeling that arises because of the disagreement and therefore does not care whether he is wrong or right. He does not want to feel pain. For this reason, the therapist may sometimes be seen as illogical in conflict situations. In contrast, the therapist can be the best mediator in conflicts. He has a good ability to solve other people's problems because he has the intuition with which he can understand each party's points of view, and also because he sincerely wants to help others.
The therapist is a flexible and tolerant personality unless one of his values is violated. When a value is threatened, the therapist turns into an aggressive advocate who fights loyalty for the cause. When he is given responsibility for a work or project, it will become one of these “issues” that he fights for. Although the wizard does not care about fine details, he will try to cover every particle he can with determination and strength.
When it comes to the finer details in life, the therapist does not care much about them and is ignorant of them. There may be a stain on the carpet in the house that remains for days without him noticing it, but he constantly cleans up any grain of dust that falls on the project he is working on.
The therapist does not deal well with theories, pure science, and logic. His focus on his feelings and human living conditions makes it difficult for him to make rational judgments, ignoring the human aspect. He does not understand or believe in the validity of those judgments that people ignore, which makes the therapist ineffective or unable to use them. Most therapists will avoid analysis that ignores the human side as well, but some have been able to develop the rational side in them that makes them capable of doing these analyses. Under pressure, it is normal for the therapist to misuse logic in anger, often in the form of stating one fact after another in an explosive emotional manner.
The therapist is a person who is satisfied with nothing but perfection and has very high standards. Therefore, it is natural for the therapist to be hard on himself, as he often does not feel satisfied with what he has achieved. There may also be a problem in working on a project with a group because the level with which the therapist is satisfied is higher than that of some group members. The therapist will also have trouble with control and leadership in work groups. The therapist must work to balance his idealism with the demands of everyday life. If he cannot impose that balance, he will feel confused and paralyzed in what he should do in his life.
The therapist is usually a gifted writer. It is normal for a therapist to feel upset and unable to express feelings verbally, but they have a wonderful ability to put down what they want to say on paper. The therapist's star usually shines in social work, education, or counseling. He is at his best when he works for the common good without having to use logic.
A therapist who works within the scope of his normal work will be able to achieve many beautiful things, for which he will not give himself credit. The most famous human figures throughout history were healers.
Therapist as husband/wife:
The therapist places a lot of loyalty and commitment on his or her marital relationship. Because emotion dominates his personality, warm feelings, and stability emerge as the therapist's nature. He feels the need to be attached and committed to a relationship. If he couldn't have this kind of relationship in reality, he would create one in his imagination.
The therapist's tendency to be idealistic and romantic at the same time makes him imagine a more ideal marital relationship or situation. He may try to push his husband to have ideal values that the husband does not possess. Most therapists find a problem in reconciling their idealism and romanticism in life with the reality in which they live. As a result, the therapist may not feel self-stable or stable in the marital relationship. Despite this, the healer's love and deep affection for his wife, and his aversion to conflicts, make him a committed husband, but he does not feel peace of mind.
The therapist, by his nature, does not pay attention to daily administrative tasks such as paying the phone bill or cleaning the house, but he will do them when asked to do so. He can be good at managing financial matters when he wants to do so.
The real problem in the therapist's marital relationships lies in his extreme dislike of disagreements and criticism. The therapist may view any comment as a personal attack on him, even if it is not true. He will take any kind of criticism as an attack on his person, and his response is usually illogical and emotional in such cases. This will be a real problem if the therapist's spouse has a rational and strict personality.
The therapist who has a developed emotional side but has not developed a sense of intuition to be able to gather the correct information to make decisions, whose dislike of disagreements and criticism may bring unhappiness to his marital relationship. This therapist will respond to disagreements in an emotionally disturbed manner and will not know how to act in those situations. Because he does not have the basis upon which to determine what he will do to get rid of conflicts, he will do anything that comes to his mind to end the dispute, and this is often by flogging his husband emotionally or making him feel guilty to get what he wants. This type of dealing cannot be successful in the long term. Therapists who feel this type of behavior must deal well with criticism and take it objectively, not personally. Also, disagreements are not always caused by the therapist, and the presence of a disagreement certainly does not mean the end of the world. Disagreements are one of the natural things in life, and confronting and confronting them now is better than avoiding them now and confronting them later when the problem becomes more complicated.
The therapist is a person who is aware of his own space, as well as the private space of others. The therapist values his or her own space and the freedom to do what he or she wants to do. The therapist will love the person whom the therapist loves as a person with special views and a unique way of life. The therapist does not like to impose his opinion or control his husband but will respect his privacy and independence. This will not be limited to respecting privacy and goals, but the therapist will be supportive and encouraging of his husband in his work.
In general, the therapist is a caring and encouraging person and a loving husband who will constantly care about the health and continuity of the marital relationship. Despite his caution at the beginning of the marital relationship, as the days go by, his loyalty and adherence to it increase. He takes his obligations seriously and will do everything in his power to make them successful.
Although any relationship between people of the 16 classifications may be successful, the therapist's natural partner or spouse is the giver (ESFJ) or the teacher (ENFJ).
Therapist as a parent:
The therapist is a natural father/mother. He accepts and enjoys his duties towards his children, as he sees them as an extension of his personal value system. He uses the role of fatherhood or motherhood to develop his value system and to pass these values on to his children. He takes this role seriously. The therapist is a caring, encouraging, flexible, and generally kind and easy-going parent in many ways.
The therapist hates conflict situations, and therefore he will try to be flexible and diverse to make the living environment at home free of conflicts. Naturally, the therapist will not be good at imposing punishments or disciplining the children whenever they make a mistake, and he will try to rely on his wife to impose them on the children. If the therapist's husband is also unable to impose the system, the therapist and his wife will need to work on enforcing it because of its importance in raising the children properly.
Although the therapist does not want to impose punishments or discipline his children, if one of the children violates one of the values to which the therapist is committed, the therapist will have no problem punishing and disciplining him. He will interrogate the son and demand that he comply and correct the mistake.
The therapist will likely treat his or her child as an independent person and will give him space to explore and grow on his own. He will give the children a voice in the family and listen to their opinions on family matters.
The therapist is a loving father who devotes his life to his children. He will protect and support his children in every step they take in their lives. When it is necessary to take sides, be sure that the therapist will take sides with the party that includes his children. His children will remember him as a loving, patient, flexible father who dedicated his life to their welfare.
The therapist as a friend:
The therapist is a caring and compassionate person who values authenticity and depth in his or her friendships. He is usually aware of other people's feelings and motives and therefore can get along with any type of people. However, the therapist will keep a part of themselves from most people, except for a chosen few with whom the therapist will want to create close and lasting relationships. Because of the ideals that dominate the therapist's personality, the therapist often tends to create relationships with emotional intuitives, or what are known as “idealists.”
Because he hates disagreements and conflicts, the therapist will feel threatened by people with strict and rational natures. Although he can work with them or participate in a project with them, he will not accept them on a personal level. In general, the therapist feels the tendencies and acceptance of “emotional” people.
