But, there comes a point where we can stand on our own and things don't interfere with our daily activities anymore.<BR/><BR/>I know as a social worker, I was tough when I needed to set limits, but I was oh, so soft when it was needed. And, I knew when I was being manipulated. Setting limits sometimes was tough on my heart, but I knew it was for the best. Not being a parent, I think though that it might be a little like that. Thanks for listening to my ramblings.<BR/><BR/>take care,<BR/>cluelessCluelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133271403456164632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-71683530457265316732008-09-27T12:18:00.000-07:002008-09-27T12:18:00.000-07:00I can keep distance only when I haven't felt the p...I can keep distance only when I haven't felt the problem myself.<BR/>I talk to some people on this mental institution that are really sick and perhaps will stay for the rest of their lives there beause they have no family and are poor.<BR/>I can talk to them much more easily than with people who are suffering what I know.<BR/>I'm very happy to know that you're therapist shows his feelings sometimes.<BR/>Mine only once could not restraint herself on a day I was crying and for the first and unique time I've leaned on the sofa and cried a lot.<BR/>She stood up and caressed my hair comforting me. It's was only after 10 years of therapy.<BR/>I will never forget it. I believe I have to tell her about it.<BR/>Yesterday I could not help myself and put my hand on this person head very quickly for two times.<BR/>I don't know if I have the strength to be a therapist but as "I've been there" I have something telling me that I could help and every time I feel empathy with some people that is feeling the way this person is I ask myself: "why not?; you understand what this person is feeling; you can help". <BR/>Yes! Time runs fast on therapy.<BR/>It's been 20 years and I still cannot say to her that perhaps we have finished.<BR/>It's been a long time I don't go to see her but I haven't the guts to end it.<BR/>I don't even think it ends. But it comes a time when you don't need it that badly and you're able to manage your problems.<BR/>Thank you Clueless.<BR/>It was of great help hearing your relationship with your therapist.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889189418315180865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129204094501745986.post-24677319643449856072008-09-27T08:44:00.000-07:002008-09-27T08:44:00.000-07:00Oh, I hope they find the blogsphere and that it wi...Oh, I hope they find the blogsphere and that it will be helpful and not hurtful or harmful.<BR/><BR/>You are just so sweet Ana. To be a therapist or working with people with problems in general, you have to be able to develop a "professional emotional distance" and at the same time be attuned, empathic and caring.<BR/><BR/>It is okay for your therapist to cry or tear up at times. They are human too, but not if they require you to comfort them. Mine tears up sometimes because he has empathy regarding the pain of the things that happened in my life and he cares. But, he tells me it makes him sad or angry and I tell him how I feel. But we have also know each other for more than 20 years. A new therapist doing this...time to run fast!!! They have unresolved issues.Cluelesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04133271403456164632noreply@blogger.com
