Dale note: when I first started this project, I took every professor, staff, professional out to coffee to bounce the ideas off of them and talk about their own practice of teaching, their own education, standards within their profession like accreditation, etc. The results below are references to points in the conversation, the zeitgeist of the conversation, discipline-specific jargon/terminology, sometimes references recommended by the speaker, etc. The scale (see graphic) measures emotional encouragement to emotional suppression in the disciplines and the populations they work with, as well as emotional self-awareness training in the discipline.
Acting & Theatre
Consent-based practices, boundary practices, intimacy choreographers, are ideas being adopted by university theatre courses to communicate and obtain explicit and voluntary consent among the actors.
Dance
Dance students are trained in reaching and expression emotion, cognizant of the space they're in. For example, in a small theater where you can make eye contact, or in a wide concert hall, where people far away need to have the emotion/drama delivered to them... Getting so into the role that you "let go" is evidence of success that is recognized by dance teachers.
Music
Symphony musician roles don't encourage emotion, but the director embodies the emotion "doctrine of the affections" was a Baroque idea that music is known (and can intentionally) move emotion in listeners
Art & Art History
…the inner distance ("aesthetic distance") is achieved by mental withdrawal that releases the philosopher’s intellect of the artist’s poetic imagination, as the case may be, enabling a philosophical approach in the one, and an aesthetic approach in the other.
Michelis, P. A. 1959. “Aesthetic Distance and the Charm of Contemporary Art.” The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 18 (1): 1–45.
Social Work
Unless you deal with emotional response, you're never going to be able to be rational/reasonable
Religion
In Christian denominations in the United States, there is education for leaders ranging from formal degrees to informal internal apprenticeships in a single isolated congregation. It seems that the latter can suffer from insular thinking and susceptibility to disinformation.
Communication
…we define “misinformation” as claims—well-intentioned or not—that are at odds with the best available empirical evidence.
…Highly anxious individuals in our study were more open to both accurate information and misinformation…

Industrial Design
Some industrial design icons of the past are known more for their use of human nature to get people to buy things, rather that solving humanity's problems…
“There are professions more harmful than industrial design, but only a few.” -(Victor) Papanek went on to accuse his fellow designers of (ignoring) their social and moral responsibilities.

Police
…statements and training as applying emotional intelligence when deescalating has become more common in light of increased numbers suicidal by cop and perceptions/experiences with various communities.
