My mentor use to be an LCSW, well still is, but he teaches now, he's my mentor, the man who made me want to become a social worker and therapist. Before I wanted to be a CPS Worker but realized I'd be too emotionally involved. Anyway I talk to him on occasion and we have some normal everyday chats, we'll sit and joke, banter, talk about stuff that interests us, or the field of psychology and he'll teach me things that I can use with clients. Other times we'll talk more personally about my life. And the last conversation I had with him he guided me to realize I need to self-parent.

However I have no idea what this means, what it entails, or how to do so! Anyone know?
