Two things. I would not trust an employer with the kknowledge of me that a therapist is supposed to gain, and I do not believe a work therapist is going to keep cinfidences. I wouldn't even trust an amployer with the knowledge that I wanted therapy - it gets you labelled as weak an unreliable.

Second, Chongo may have made a point in an insensitive way, but it still has some validity. My late wife had a complete nervous breakdown in her late teens, before I knew her, and she always said that going on the road (which she had also done) was a good therapy - when you are worrying about where your next meal is coming from, other things seem less important. But it could all backfire.
