Well, I am not a T, but I do diagnostic assessments for my job which means I hear a lot of anger, sadness, negativity, fear, every day, while I am asking questions about a person's mental health. And you know what? There are some days when I get drained, but most of the time I really, really enjoy it. I enjoy learning the ways to put different types of people at ease. I enjoy having the chance to be welcomed into an individual's private world. I feel naturally inclined to ask questions of people I meet and explore their depths, but most of the time people don't give a lot of depth at first.. and so being invited in and being allowed to do that with so many people just "feels right."

Those private worlds may be filled with pain, but it makes me feel good to be a part of their path toward change, growth, and maybe even lives filled with joy. I am only their psychometrist, gathering information, but one day I will even be a part of the movement toward growth, and I am sure that will be even better.

I don't think I'll ever stop feeling that way. I think this is why I decided I have to be a T one day. If a T is meant to be a T, helping and healing shouldn't be too draining.
