day in the morning! Get to work today and one of my first patients is one of those child molesters I counseled last week. Yep, that's my job. I was working with him on forgiving himself. That.was.hard. (borrowing cjh's style)
I have to provide unconditional positive regard. Remember Rogers? I can't pick and choose which inmates I want to help. So that includes a lot of people that I would never, ever, ever, want to help if it were not my job.
Does helping a child rapist forgive himself lead to him raping more or less when he is finally released?
What about the killer who killed his wife and father-in-law in a sudden fight. Ugly death. He regrets killing the guy because he would like to be able to talk to him. No remorse at all over the wife. Okey-dokey.
A colleague and I had a brief discussion about this question today: Can empathy be taught to adults?
Will I like my new work friends? How long will it take me to learn the new job? Will the kids like the new daycare? Will I? I feel like I'm too old to be starting yet another new job. Will I ever get to retire?

I don't think empathy can be taught to sociopaths, and that if you haven't developed empathy or compassion by the time you're a teen then maybe you are a sociopath?
Yes exactly, in some moments I can phrase that I jibe consent to with you, but you may be making allowance for other options.
