Re: be honest

Yes, it is really common for victims of trauma, particularly long-term trauma, to seek out helping or caring roles in life. I'm not really worried about being triggered by my clients or about transference/counter-transference. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since my damage was done to me. Decades of recovery make a difference, I think. I haven't found a population that really bothers me yet while a lot of students in my classes have been very clear and vocal in refusing assignments. Another reason I decided to get training was so that I would "do no harm".

Tbh, I am worried more about being able to challenge my clients when they are stuck and with being able to terminate therapy as it should be when the course is run.

I have a great deal of respect for the people and responsibilities involved in counseling. I've had/met/known great ones and really bad ones in my time. I don't have any illusions about myself or my abilities, at least I don't think I do, but I aspire to be a good whatever it is I will be after schooling is finished (it's early enough in the process that I haven't had to specialize. That I'm still working on.)

BTW, I thank you for pointing out the overlap between therapist, friend, and priest: I'd not heard that phrased that way before and it's provocative.
