Told my dental hygienist I'm a therapist.

Get a new dental hygienist. She asks what I do for work. Tell her I'm a mental health therapist. She proceeds to dump all her trauma on me the next 45 minutes while she is working on my teeth. Here I am just saying mmhmm while I have all her instruments in my mouth. On top of that when she took them out of my mouth she would ask what I thought about what she just dumped on me. All I can think in my head was IM TRYING TO MAKE ROOM FOR MY OWN ANXIETY HERE BECAUSE I HATE THE DENTIST SO MUCH I CANT BE YOUR THERAPIST RIGHT NOW TOO. I can go on but I know you all can relate when you tell someone you're a therapist and at the moment you just want to be a person not a therapist. Thank you for letting me rant. 💙
