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.
