At some point it came to my notice that my page came up if you searched "tech therapist Austin." This is, in a way, surprising, as I'm not especially tech savvy. Nonetheless, it's hard to deny there's some affinity there, as tech workers have formed a large part of my client base as long as I've been in practice. (It doesn't hurt that I started in the Bay Area and now live in Austin.)
I think there's more there, though. Tech jobs attract analytic folks whose minds move quickly enough that people sometimes have a hard time following them. This is a type of person I work well with. I don't know DevOps from software engineering, but I know some of the job culture, the ups and downs of it. I know about some of what leads to burnout in this work, the drumbeat of layoffs, the pressures and perfectionism, and may just kind of get it more than many outsiders.
