Motherfudgers!

This webpage is in development. 

The ever curious, ever challenging, and always hysterically funny 6yr old Karen Brockman character in the ‘Dead Mouse’ (S2E2) episode of Outnumbered, innocently asks her poor beleaguered parents what is a 'Motherfudger' (obviously a censored expletive). Karen also takes on Nigella Lawson and Gordon Ramsey in this episode with great aplomb! This is one of the best British sitcoms ever. The cast are just superb. I’ll binge watch the entire series every couple of years, over the course of a few weeks.

It is dedicated to figures within my profession who are Motherfudgers (Destructive Narcissists), who are well known within the field to have caused untold abuse and harm to those within their reach. 

Because training and teaching takes place mostly at weekends, Counselling and Psychotherapy Training Organisations are extremely easy places for Destructive Narcissists to act-out their pathology in the shadows. With both students and teaching staff only ever coming in out of the normal working hours, they never really ever get a consistent opportunity to get the measure of core staff and senior management dynamics. Both students and teaching staff are usually employed full or part-time elsewhere during the week, and have to cope with all the attendant pressures that go with employment. Teaching Staff not only do they have the pressures of external employment but also have course preparation, course delivery, group and student evaluations, and all while containing the dynamics and anxieties of a training group! Teaching Staff and Students, on top of their professional pressures have to gear themselves up for attending a training weekend maybe when they are already tired or exhausted, and missing family time and milestones. Students also have to meet many course or university written requirements which requires to do research, writing and submitting. 

If a teacher is teaching several different postgraduate courses, they may never have much time off and working most of the time. 

Community based therapy services are also usually staffed by core staff and senior management team. Often counsellors and therapists, paid and voluntary, are only really on-site when they are seeing clients or for the odd team meeting, or line management or clinical supervision session. Much like Students and Teaching Staff, they are never really exposed to the underbelly of the organisation.

It is core staff such as administration, finance, fundraising etc who are directly exposed to the organisations shadow. They know where all the dead bodies are buried.
