INFP therapist here. It is true that sometimes I tear up when clients talk about very difficult experiences. But it's also true that I can use my ability to resonate in nuanced grades to adapt to the needs of my clients. I did recognise myself in a variety of types here, because I adapt a lot to my clients. Some get many hugs, some not even a handshake. Some get clear instructions about what to do, with some I'm just fascinated by their story. Love my job. My clients are all such wonderful people ❤😅

[@44EricRH44]

I'm and INFP too and many people in my life have told me I should be a therapist. We may cry but that same empathy is very important to understand other people and the best way to treat them, according to their needs and boundaries 😊 But huge respect for you because it must be a heavy load often.

[@isitsweet9567]

Out of curiosity, is there a specific type of client that you see? I am an INFP as well, but sometimes the INTP stereotypes resonate more with me than the INFP ones- probably because I am (to use the old expression, ngl) considered highly intelligent, and I have what's commonly called Asperger's syndrome, which is most common in INTPs and INTJs (or at any rate, I think we tend to be Is and we're almost always Ns, and we slant toward T because of the sex ratio). That's to say that I lack patience with other people. I could probably manage to be a good therapist for people who genuinely came to sort out their issues, if that makes sense, but not for people who- and this could be for a rainbow of reasons- were not truly motivated to do so. Also, it pains me to get the sense that someone envies me without realizing what my life is really like (for example: a classmate in middle school once told me that I had no idea how lucky I was that my parents were still married. I didn't know what to say, because I was abused at home, and God, what I would have given for a family like his. That memory stings even now when I think of it) and so I can't suffer problems that I wish I had. I always listen but I often do so judgmentally; I am (as you can see) "brutally" honest about myself and others; and, in a school where grammar that makes you look like you're learning English in school is perfectly acceptable on a project for an AP class, my pedantry (which is what others would call my intolerance of error and inaccuracy, if they knew such a word) is perceived as sadistically irritating (although I still think I'm doing them a favor by *inspiring* them to step up their performance). Ironically, I have a dear ENFP friend who insists that seeing a therapist will help my social life (it's healthier than ever before, and I'm satisfied with that, but this friend eats and breathes "relationships"- only temporarily can she have enough of them). If you read all the way down here, thanks for really listening; you're golden. I'm sure someone is going to reply and tell me that was an unnecessarily long comment.

[@helgaioannidis9365]

@@isitsweet9567 good morning ☀️❤️ I see all types of clients, my door is open for every person that wants to try if my services are useful to them. I have one client that has a lot in common with you, so reading your comment made me smile and immediately like you. 😊 Your friend maybe hopes that seeing a therapist could help you coping with the consequences of the abuse you suffered at home? Most people carry lots of inner scars and wounds from parental abuse and us therapists can often help with the healing. If you ever decide to see a therapist, make sure you feel comfortable with your therapist. Not every therapist suits every client. A good therapist treats you with respect and patience. As to the feeling of envy, usually we feel envy when we feel life has betrayed us. It's a very normal and justified feeling for someone who couldn't feel safe around their own parent, but also for someone who has to cope with a loss or a lack of basic resources. Satisfied people aren't envious, only unhappy people are. So envy in some way tells us we're lacking something important in life. And often it's not necessary to get exactly what we desire, but it's enough to find something else that covers our basic human needs to get rid of the feeling. I hope my answer was somewhat helpful. If not, feel free to ask again in a more specific way, I'll do my best to answer. I leave a package of love and hugs here for you in case you like those. If you don't want them, just leave the package here and don't open it 🎁🌷 Take care ❤️ Edit spelling

[@helgaioannidis9365]

@@44EricRH44 in the beginning it's a bit more difficult to cope with all the emotions and the responsibility. But one gets better at putting limits with the years. You come to a point where you understand that your abilities are limited, hence also your responsibilities and that you only can do your job properly if you take good care of yourself. It's really important to have a good supervisor the first years and later it helps to have a group of colleagues for intervision.

And, when my daughter is talking to me I’m “not allowed” to be on any electronic device, because I’ll start looking up information on the topic she’s talking about in order to help and she thinks I’m “not listening.” (It’s ok for people to feel sorry for her.

[@LiviaKpop]

I think it's safe to say that most ISTPs feel like they've been a "therapist" their whole lives, listening to everyone's problems. It gets really exhausting for them, especially when they try to give someone a solution to what they're venting/complaining about, but the other person doesn't want a solution. And so the ISTP thinks: What other response can I give? Because in their heads, if there's a problem, it should be fixed right away instead of complaining about it. 😂 They'd rather tell people what they NEED to hear instead of what they WANT to hear, as this would seem more helpful, but sometimes this doesn't go over well. 😂 So yeah, I think most ISTPs would not even have a desire to become a therapist.

[@Liat.]

@@LiviaKpop Agreed. My ISTP spouse just walks away when I have any issues or seem upset. When I try to ask why he does that, he says it’s bc I don’t listen to his “solution”.

@@Liat. Well it's not necessarily about a quick fix all the time. ISTPs know that some problems, especially deep ones, take time to solve. But it's more about trying to START resolving the problem as soon as possible. Because the sooner it can start being solved, the sooner a solution can be found, and the sooner people can move on to other things.

My brother is an INTJ and he's far more useful than my therapist. He is just very practical, which resonates with me because I'm an INTP. So I have health-related anxiety and I was worried about having MS, and he was like, "Michelle, if you were in a car crash and lost your arm, what would you do?" And I said, "Well, I'd have to learn to deal with it. I'd get heavy pans so I can stir food one-handed, I suppose." And he said, "And if the worst happens here, and you have MS, it's exactly the same. You'd learn to deal with it." Doesn't sound real sensitive, but oddly, that thought experiment helped a lot. It also helps that he doesn't get worked up about anything (visibly).

[@SDoesNotKnow]

No, INFPs usually serve as sounding boards and offer their insights for other people, and they love our insights and take them as advice as if we're providing therapy sessions when we're just talking, haha. The INFJs are the ones who know they're giving therapeutic advice but do it in a way that doesn't seem like they are, so it works well. I think INFJs have just enough empathy and yet natural detachment to understand the person and their issues BUT won't get bogged down by them. The INFP will be great as a therapist too but only once or twice because we won't be nearly as structured and we will be too bogged down by people's issues that we can either get too invested as if we're the ones who are hurting (but we'll keep it to ourselves) OR, for our own sanity, we end up shutting it out (in our own quiet way) to avoid dealing with that person's issues any longer.

[@lmn-3927]

Being used as a free therapist by family, friends and even strangers has been reported by many INFPs. At some point you have to put up boundaries if people "overuse" your empathy and your listening skills because you'll end up feeling drained.

[@MC-kk8xu]

I'm an INFP and yes I can relate. I think we just have a very safe and calming presense at times. I get the impression people who have a lot on their chest or who are perceived to be very loud/aggressive by others appreciate our patience and sensitivity. As was rightly said I do think we have trouble setting boundaries for ourselves over this because it can often lead us to be drained.

[@joanaborrellsanchez9225]

As an INFP, every month I meet strangers at the train / at the park that tell me their whole stories and traumas. And I'm not even a therapist, I'm 19. People is been doing it since I was a kid. Everyone is desperate to have someone who listens and cares. And I adore helping them, I find human experiences fascinating. And I NEVER cry. I've never cried when someone gives me their heart to heal it. It's kind of weird how much I can empathize without crying, I don't even have the desire to cry, I cry later, alone in my room. I guess my emotions are so private to me. When I listen, I just concentrate with the story, without making it personal. Maybe it's daring and not humble but I believe I would be a brilliant therapist without having any studies. Just my intuition, caring nature, open-mindness and listening abilities.

[@cwtabbs1]

I'm a female INTJ who managed to find an INTJ therapist- she worked with my then-employer's EAP. It's one of the few times I actually felt understood. Issue was, she wasn't a trauma specialist which is what I needed. She did refer me to the best in the area, so there's that. But it was nice to look across from me at someone listening and not asking the cliche, "how did that make you feel" because that question is useless to someone who's numbed by complex trauma.

[@cellgrrl]

Also a female INTJ. I had been to therapists on and off during difficult times and just hated that question! What kind of questions was that? I wanted to know what I was to think about that, or change what I am thinking or at least get an opinion on what the therapist thinks! What that question made me feel was anxiety.

INFP was overly stereotyped, but the essence is right. I would just cry all the time and worry about my patients problems too (like I don't have enough to deal on my own and worry about the planet, animals and homelessness). I actually study psychology, but mainly to help myself haha. My favortie therapist here was the ENTJ. He seemed effective. Worst were ESTJ (repressing feelings like what?) and ENFJ (highly annoying, like the friend who tells you to just breathe when you are pissed off, which makes you more pissed off). Yet they are supposed to be my most compatible types lollll.

So it has had an immense impact on me and I enjoy every new video. And I would be really happy to see in the future how the odd couples interact with each other, some examples of that. In my perception it looks a little bit like a clash of two worlds, colliding, in different rhymes, albeit sometimes in the same direction towards the same goal. Which I find quite sad, such an amount of misunderstandings. I think to see one’s own type and the odd partner trying to catch on that would be so encouraging for understanding of one’s own type on another level. What is your perspective on this please?

[@norhankhairy9368]

Great video Frank as always as your videos never fail to put a smile on my face. As an estj myself, let me explain something to the rest because I feel like ESTJs are misjudged almost everywhere (though some estjs are just plain machines with no emotions and fit the stereotype blindly) The thing about estj is that they can actually detach emotion on demand. Like if I am feeling sad because of some trauma or a situation but right now I am at work, so I tell myself it's not the time don't you dare cry, stop feeling sad and continue what you're doing. Being able to do so we (estjs) think that everyone else could do it and if it works for us it will definitely work with others and if they can't stop their bad feelings or actually switch to logic and neglect emotions (because they literally never dissappear), we believe that the others are just weak. In addition, ESTJ are one of the least empath characters, so sometimes they can't relate to others we literally can't feel others feeling with the same intensity. However, it doesn't mean that ESTJs don't care for their injured friends or family, it is the contrary, we care so much that we tend to solve everything logically, and only based on our own experience (utilising Si introverted sensing). One of our most noticeable traits is tough love, which we use quite often because we feel that the world is very cruel, so everyone needs to toughen up and be stronger and we want to help with that. And part of that tough love act we suppress our emotions in belief that emotions won't help out as much compered to logic. Of course, some ESTJs can learn and be more empathetic and learn that everyone's emotions work differently and our solutions are not made for everyone. I believe that ESTJs(if healthy and good people) are like mama lions, and they will bare no effort in helping their family and protecting them in their own ways.❤
