> I can only speak for myself here but when my work has involved helping people, it is definitely to me like treading on sacred ground when I enter someone's life.
*My T says something like that. Like she says she is honored that I sharing my journey w/her. I just figgered thats a thing T's say.
>To see the person they are and to witness their struggles and growth (even to see the worst when things are going not so good for them). So in my opinion yes it's work but it is a privilege to have this type of work and the people we grow to care for. I'm sure your therapist feels the same (especially you say she is a pastoral counsellor. Even more so.) And yes, there are breaks but then we come back refreshed and renewed right? That's probably the same for her.
**Yeah, she always seems more refreshed after a break.
My T has said similiar stuff to you.
I guess its just my own stuff showing :(
I guess I truly find it hard to beleive that sharing anything to do w/me could possibly be a priveledge. I guess I still getting over my leperousness feelings.
My T says thank you to me for me letting her into my inner world. I never could get that. My world is not special or nothing. So this is where I get confused.
Fortunately my T seems to have the patience of a saint.
And she alot tougher than she looks.
I guess I gonna have to start actually hearing and beleiving stuff she says.......
Just so hard for me to beleive.
I working on it.
Thanks CG.
Take care,
You sound very kind.
