My much repeated story - around 2013 when I worked in local government, the BBC reported on a survey that found most people hadn’t noticed any effect of austerity. A colleague said, “people are going to get up one day, look around and say this place is a shit hole, what happened?”

And they also confuse our jobs - psychiatrists are sometimes therapists, so are some psychologists, and pure psychotherapists, and counsellors. In tv they’re usually all mashed together

I think people in a sector often imagine they’re vastly different from people in other sectors or their situation is unique. People are people. The same sorts of personalities and relationships and hierarchies exist everywhere.
