Im training to be a psychiatrist but my ex told me he doesn't feel heard by me and so he broke up with me. He said that about his first ex too. Do you think I shouldn't take it personally? How do I make him feel heard. How do I make my patients feel heard :(
Depends. I don’t think women make good psychiatrist. They tend to be biased. Give bad advice, especially to other women based on all the emotional trauma they’ve been through. I have an ex co-worker who is a psychiatrist, always trying to give advice about life, relationships, etc, but she’s single as a dollar bill in her 40s. Always posting online about being better w out a man. How she’s fighting for all women but than complains on Valentine’s Day about other women getting flowers or gifts from their man. I’d say you have to learn to control your emotions. Women tend to react, respond based on their feelings rather than logic. Especially if they’ve been through a similar situation it brings up bad feelings. So than they hone in on the side as the problem, w out remaining neutral. I think I if men or women want real, honest advice, got to a male psychiatrist.
A better question, how is therapeutic or counseling skills not part of your training?
Also how have you not taken relationship, sex or family psychology courses?
As to your question, active listening and emphatic explanation
you get a pass because you're still training and aren't as experienced yet.

Women never listen to men so you are pretty normal.
