I am a THERAPIST

I am therapist for 4 plus years now. I feel tired of it. I know many of us talk about mental health and promote therapy in every possible way. Its a good thing really, but, yes there is ALWAYS a but.

I am good in it but honestly i am lost, i feel so detached to my own issues now. I feel like not talking to anyone, yes if someone talks to me, i do participate, but i dont put much effort. Its not like i am unable to detach myself from my client's issue, i can do that easily now, but something in me is ending or getting empty.

I no longer feel excited about anything. If i explain, i dont feel any emotion to its extent. I wont say its effecting my relationship with others but ya its effecting my relationship with me.

I like my work and helping my clients, they are amazing. But i feel like i am not helping myself. Somehow being busy listening to others makes me feel, what am i doing here, why they have so much problems, what are they saying.

I guess am just losing all my empathy towards myself. Its sad that its not talked about much nowadays but i guess this job is quite serious than its taken to be.

Its not only listening, its also about soaking in and building the boundary.

My love and regards to all the therapists out there. You do good.
