Consider activities that broaden your perspective, e.g. reading a biography or travel somewhere.
Consider journaling deeply about areas that trouble you, whether recent or distant past. Also consider journaling in detail about the best possible outcome for yourself. Forcing yourself to organize thoughts in writing can help understand confusing situations.
If therapist isn't working, find another one. It's totally normal to try several.
During this period of tech layoffs I just wanted to highlight some research done 30 years ago which is part of a larger body of research around expressive writing. My apologies for re-wording the title, but the original paper and the linked-to summary have vague / convoluted titles.
Pretty much everyone in a developed country. Just zoom out your time perspective. I'll go ahead and say paramedics, but there are examples all over the place.
Language is not precise, and companies define their roles differently for a variety of reasons, including the nature of the business each company is in. I'll take a stab though.
In general, "salesperson" implies a single transaction. You go to the Apple Store, you talk to a salesperson, you walk out with a big iPhone and a light wallet. Note that Apple calls them "specialist" or something, see point above.
"Account" implies an ongoing relationship with a steady stream of transactions, such as an advertiser with a large account on an ad platform. The account manager's role would be a) make sure to keep the account and b) find ways for the account to spend more money in a way that's beneficial to both.
Account executives typically sign new accounts, so they are overall selling the value of the ongoing stream of transactions.
Further muddying the waters is that all these roles are under the "Sales" org, so you could arguably say an account manager is in sales even if they're not a salesperson you meet at a retail store.
