Therapists are only human.
You are right about that.
They are people, just like you or me.
They have good days and bad days.
Days where they have a lot to offer.
Days where they are wrapped up in their own issues.
They are fallible and imperfect.
They make mistakes.Other people can't save us.
They can't save us from ourself.
And with me anyway... It is my hatred and fear of myself that is a huge chunk of the problem.
But they can't make all the hurt and bad feelings go away.
I imagine they would if they could - but they can't.
All they can do is try and help me see how I can make things better for myself.
Try and help me do that for a time.
And then...
Well, sometimes they do need to move on for whatever reason.
But I don't think they purposely intend for us to end up without someone trying to help us do that.
I don't think they intend for us to end up feeling like we are all alone with what is going on and feeling like nobody cares or will help us.
There are other people in the world.
People still care.
People will still help you.
But nobody can rescue you it is true.
And other people will come into your life and help you too.
