I was there to ask him a simple question `Why is your world so dark?' It is wonderful how things come into your life when you need them most. I needed this post.

    This is def the case when you are working in the field but when you encounter it constantly in your personal life, tolerance is a balancing act! Just as most mechanics want to go home and, not work on other people's cars let alone their own, or painters, etc...a counsellor doesn't want to go home or be in any relationship they feel that they are still at work! We are all human and, as counsellors we need to look after ourselves also, otherwise we burn out! To be effective in such a role, you need to create a life outside of it that doesn't drain you, it's known as 'self care'.

    Remember this piece of advice. you'll need it.
