What exactly would I apologize for? Quitting therapy? Reacting with emotions instead of my head? Tossing the baby w/bathwater? No, there is a disconnect involved that has shown itself on other occasions. IMHO if a counselor reaches a burnout stage (or whatever might be the case) it is up to them to be aware of this and to take whatever steps they might need to regroup, refresh... NOT continue advising a vulnerable clientele as if there were nothing wrong. Self awareness to the extreme, seems a prerequisite, but then likely I just expect too much.

What I was/am seeking with my post is similar experiences IE how have you been let down by someone in this position, when you were least able to deal? Kinda like, tell me this happens so it doesn't push paranoia buttons like she was trying to get rid of me, or "forcing" me to make the decision by acting this way... making me mad enough to force a change...? make any sense?
