I sometimes feel that I can understand a counsellor's burden. Even with just 1 case, I can feel the tension, the fear and sometimes even the stress. I don't know how those with many cases handle it all. I admire these people.

I worry for both of them. For what may inevitably happen. For the feelings and emotions that will run deep. For the pain.

Strange to know that my case becomes one I can easily relate to because those problems were once my problems. My personal experience, not too long ago.

But the last thing they need, or I need, is to get personally involved in this. Yes, I reflect upon my own mistakes and caution others against making the same mistakes because I don't want another person to go through the shit I went through. But personally reflecting on mistakes doesn't mean that I have to be emotionally involved as well. Because despite everything, I've made a promise that I'll be there for them. Whatever the problems may be, with my personal experience being the best, and only weapon.

Keep a cool head about this. Emotions cannot be involved. Do the right thing for them.
