I don't know, it's probably worse in English.
But I hate writing in general. For a lot of reasons. Even if I'm more eloquent when writing... Still. It stresses me out a great deal.

BTW, I know that my perfectionism in English isn't real perfectionism, as I'm sure I make a lot of mistakes. But it's not exactly that I can do something about it, so... I just try to keep it understandable

I think that many of your patients will also come to have an opportunity to talk about their problems without being judged. I think they'll do a lot of the talking. Also, you'll probably find talking in a professional setting much easier than small talk with strangers, long conservations that go nowhere, or sharing deep feelings. In short, I think you'll do fine!

Thanks for that, Nach!

Plus, counselling technique is actually a very good way of conducting a conversation with relatively little input. Used artfully, simply inserting a few questions into a conversation which reinforce what someone's been saying and lead in the direction they want to go will keep them talking, oblivious to your part in the conversation - but they'll love you for your sociability, because you allowed them to talk about themselves!

When all else fails, play to other's vanities! Perfect advice!

I recall reading something like this somewhere recently... hummm...

Clearly a text of great wisdom.

INTp, no surprises there! i always DID want to be a mad scientist!
