In reply to Telling your boss, posted by allisonf on September 3, 2004, at 15:58:13
Hello Alison. No, you shouldn't tell your boss. What reason would you have to tell him, and why would he need to know? Are you wishing to be in a patient-doctor relationship with him? Is your relationship with your therapist lacking in some way so that you feel you need to get from work what you're not getting from therapy? I think you should keep a clear separation between your work life and your own, private medical problems. Your supervisor at work is not there to take care of you. I think it would be a good idea to talk with your therapist about this. If you feel that you're not getting your needs met in therapy, then you should look for another therapist, but that therapist should NOT be your supervisor. And I'm sure you know that you should NEVER turn to patients for friendship/fraternizing either.
