    How do you know it wasn’t due to some deeper issues or trauma, etc?

      Working with their families and court-appointed guardians and having access to their medical and treatment history, diagnostic testing, etc.

      I also always had great rapport with my clients, and was often the only person my clients would be totally honest with.

      I’m sure people may read this thinking I’m a callous judgemental prick, but I was able to provide 100% non-judgmental empathetic reflective listening and maintaining the therapeutic alliance as people confided to me a grotesque murder they committed, the abuse they suffered, child abuse they inflicted…

      I was the one on my team given the challenging cases and individuals who were notoriously difficult to work with, had borderline intellectual functioning, or were volatile and threatening.

      The laziness I’m referring to is a personality trait; not a symptom of mental illness or trauma.
