What i wrote down is literally from my personal diary

It takes a heavy toll on the therapist, one who listens. Especially when the one going through difficulty is your close person. I feel so hurt to see someone i love, someone about whom i care being hurt and a total helpless situation. I can’t do anything to help her. After hearing what she gone through it makes me cry, how can i be a therapist if i am not ready to listen to my own people’s problem. How can i not let that affect me? How can be sure that i will not bring that back to my home what i went through?

Is being therapist really the thing you wanna do?

So what should i do?

But thank you (my name) for listening, you did not run away but you stayed until the call was over, you stayed and listened.

Thank you.

But is your goal as a therapist to solve people’s problem?

Or to help them see or resolve so that they naturally arrive at conclusion?

I can be happy thinking of my own life.

But her problems starting to feel as mine.

I feel i have to worry about something now.

And it’s so serious i can’t overlook.

It’s like your mom in abroad and you get to know the country is going through war.

It’s exactly like that.

It’s exactly that way.
