I bet my therapist (former and current) wish that I can be so interactive with them. For me, I have trouble voicing what is bothering me. I would stew on it. I need to get up the courage to verbalize more in session. But it is anxiety provoking and I get scared :-(
> Regarding why anyone would ever want to do this for a living, I had asked my husband this after a couple of sessions. He replied that it is the challenge. Not for me, I would be weeping or ranting more than the client!
The challenge and the geniune vision to reach out and help those in need, probably. Someone once told me that after a while, all a doctor/professional can focus on is the mission to help others. The glory of having a M.D., or a Ph.D wears off. So, I guess at that stage, you either burnout and go work in a company; or you stick around and really start to make a difference.
