I have been working as a therapist for more than 16 years. I am a special educator and a certified therapists to provide family therapy to families with children and members who have special needs. Many people feel that everything is happy in my life from the way I present myself. I keep a positive attitude and smiling face. But therapists are human too. We have our own share of troubles and mental agony. We too need healing and therapy. I often talk to my counselor friend when I feel low. I come across so many cases that can be upsetting and drain my energy. Plus, everyone has their personal baggage..
Even therapists need healing....

No lies there. People act like therapists are superhumans, forgettiing that they also go through things too. Imagine listening to heavy stories every day, heartbreak, trauma, all sorts. That one alone can mess with anybody’s mind. I once talked to a counselor who said she sometimes breaks down after tough sessions. It’s why I believe even they need space and support. You just can’t pour from an empty cup
