Some articles claim that in California, they do have

peer support specialists
The training takes about sixty hours
Almost all of the jobs that I have had, made me redundant, soon after hiring
It appears to me, that my personality disorders would make it harder to obtain and keep a job as a Peer Support Specialist

, than to get a job in Accounting
And I already have a Associates degree in Accounting
Peer support specialists
I could not fathom the

customer service complaints
It is not the counselors fault that I am not motivated to apply for jobs. Nor is it her

their

fault, racism sexism homophobia discrimination in work. Nor is it her fault I am not vocationally competent in STEM

fine

. Nor is it her fault I got made redundant
But just sitting around talking. "Unfortunate thing that happened" this "sorry" that and "homophobic" this and "wish it didn't happen" that.
Way overboard
Maybe she (rightly or wrongly) thought that I would have fired her, if she were to have told me to get a job (fine)
But the insurance stops paying for counseling, as of November this year
At that time I will be just as unprepared for the "real world" or "reality" as I was, before counseling began November 2016
But maybe she doesn't know how to prepare me for the future
Or maybe it goes against HIPAA to prepare a client for the future
But I doubt it
