> A manager is there precisely to optimize for business objects. They are not your paid friend, therapist or life coach.

A office therapist could actually be precisely what is needed to effectively optimize and alight people for business objectives!

Like anyone would trust an office therapist. The office therapist works for your bosses, not you; talking to them, you're exposing yourself to risk while being in a disadvantaged position (the usual employee vs. employer power imbalance). Even if they're 100% committed to doctor-patient confidentiality, all it takes is for a HR person to surprise them with a pointed question, and read the answer from the therapist's reaction.
