From the author: Therapeutic maturation I think that not only the baby is jealous of the breast. But the mother also envies the baby when he ceases to depend on her breast and stands on his own feet. Part of you, the child you raised, grows up, matures and becomes independent... How hard this is to experience! It’s a shame not to immediately discern what is behind this resentment, the feeling of rejection and confusion... And behind them is envy. To the point that the child is gaining strength, and you are already walking down the mountain. Besides, he is full of strength and potency, and you already have a lot in the past. To the point that power passes to him, and your authority is increasingly in question. All these feelings live in any long-term working group, community, organization. The therapist cannot part with the client, the group analyst is angry with the group that does not hear his interpretations, the supervisor at a loss from the supervisor's confrontation... The manager or mentor is in an even more difficult position - deep analysis seems to be inappropriate in the leadership process, and feelings are not contained and do not allow one to think clearly and act effectively. Recognizing envy of children, clients, students, supervisors, employees, etc. - a criterion of the professional maturity of a Parental figure? We talk about this in the 3rd stage program for practicing psychologists and psychotherapists "THERAPEUTIC GROWING UP"".
