Professional deformation

On average, we spend one third of the day at work,so it has a significant impact on our lives. We can consciously or unconsciously transfer our working habits, behavior and communication with other people, certain stereotypes and even the style of thinking beyond the walls of the office. What professions are most characteristic of professional deformation?



Of course, teachers immediately come to mind. The habit of constantly teaching and explaining often remains with them and outside the school. It seems that they consider everyone as their pupils - relatives, friends, acquaintances and even people in the queue or sellers in the store. Professional deformation of teachers often manifested in authoritarianism, imperiousness, aspiration for leadership, overestimation of self-esteem and unwillingness to accept someone else's point of view.



Doctors often considered cynics with black humor, for which "there is nothing sacred". The profession of the doctor assumes great responsibility and constant stress, so professional deformation is a kind of protective mechanism. Cynicism is unknowingly transferred to personal communication, and forced indifference to another's grief and restraint of emotions are transferred to own problems and problems of close people.



A psychologist is a kind of "shoemaker without boots": he helps others, but often can not help himself. Professional deformation of psychologists can be expressed in the desire to dig into strangersproblems (often far-fetched) and flood the person with advice, or in an effort to manipulate other people, because a psychologist is better than others familiar with the mechanisms of manipulation and often tries to confirm the theory in practice.



Professional deformation of the military, perhaps the most "neglected". Their households will have to get used to rigid discipline and authoritarianism. It is believed that nothing can be done about the professional deformation of the military, because it is no longer a profession, but a way of life. But if they do not use violence - this is quite possible to accept. In addition, sometimes discipline really does not hurt.



The profession of an accountant has become synonymous with meticulousness and tediousness. Professional deformation of accountants manifested in the constant striving for order,clear planning of everything and everything, pedantry, dislike for change. In family life, this is expressed in the desire to maintain cleanliness and order. Such meticulousness can sometimes irritate, but the family budget will always be in perfect order.



Journalists are often unnecessarily curious. Also, this profession involves working with a huge amount of information, so professional deformation of journalists sometimes expressed in superficiality - they are simplynot used to "dig deep." Some journalists with experience like to attract attention, talk a lot and talk for a long time, and when communicating "pull the blanket over", not allowing the interlocutor and two words to insert.



Of course, representatives of other professions are subject to professional deformation, we only named the most striking examples that you have probably encountered in life. But how to deal with professional deformation? How to make it so that it does not poison the life of you and your loved ones?



First of all, you need to clearly distinguish between work and personal life. Try to leave all working problems behinddoors of the office and not to return to their next job. Try not to take work at home. Of course, it's hard to do teachers who need to prepare for lessons, or doctors and journalists, who can sometimes "pull out" at any time of the day. But still, whenever possible, try to do so that different spheres of your life do not intersect.



The second way to combat professional deformation - constant self-control. Once you notice that in your behaviorthere were "working manners" - stop them on the vine. If it's hard for you to do it yourself, ask your family and friends to make comments to you - and then do not take offense at these comments. Often a negative example of life can help you control professional deformation. Say, your neighbor has worked as an accountant for thirty years, and now he is such a bore, what kind of light did not see. You do not want to be like him in old age? So watch yourself.



Try to choose at leisure hobbies and hobbies that are as far from the sphere of your professional activity. It is better if the hobby is maximized"contrast". Is your work connected with constant stress? Then the hobby should be calm and calming, for example, handicraft or cooking. If your work is monotonous and monotonous - sports, travel, at least walks, in general, any change of impressions will suit you.



Professional deformation is often associated with status at work, so Try in your personal life to try on a different role. You are the boss and you have to constantlyguide, give orders and plan activities? Then in the family palm of the championship try to give your second half, relax and at least do not control the house at all. If your post is insignificant, take more responsibility at home. It is not necessary to be the head of the family, but you need to feel your own worth.



Professional deformation is not always bad. Many useful professional qualities can and should be used in everyday life. But with negative manifestations of professional deformation you should fight if you do not want to become a stereotypical representative of your profession and become a hostage to your work.
