Case Study
A client came to see me with an interesting issue,
he finally got the dream job he had been looking for and it was all he
had dreamed of except one thing he felt so angry towards his immediate
boss and had no idea why.
She had been nothing but encouraging towards him in
getting him familiar with the job tasks and supporting him, it was just
a feeling he had which he could not control.
When he sat in my office he was completely
mystified as to why he felt this way, and said I have never felt this
way before but I know if I can’t change it, I shall end up leaving or
worse getting fired.
I asked him how he felt about this and he said frustrated, embarrassed and of all things dirty.
During the session we uncovered an incident whilst
he was being potty trained, he had an accident and his mother had talked
in a tone which was degrading, he felt angry, frustrated and dirty that
this had happened.
The reason for the issue with the boss was because
she not only looked like his mother, but when she was explaining to him
how to overcome issues, the tone she used was the same, which it turn
pushed his buttons and his emotions came right back.
Being able to uncover this incident we dealt with
the issues and also resolved the attitude towards the boss, he had no
idea at all where this was coming from in the beginning but it made
complete sense when we uncovered the issue.
He now loves going to work and no longer has these
raging emotions and in fact really likes his boss, who he now jokingly
calls mom!
Secondary gain here was because he was in a
learning situation again and having to be coached the old emotions came
back as a defense mechanism as protection from criticism.
