I have worked with the underprivileged, the wounded, those that struggle with mental health and learning. I have been doing this a great deal of my life. I am not a saint...I do this because I selfishly love to.. it means something to me. I do not sacrifice. I do not think my life is more improtant than those that choose what they care to do in life. Even in the field I work in, I do not see many martyrs. They choose their careers because that is what they want in life.
If I had children - I'm sure there would be instances where I would sacrifice for them. Sorry for the rant...this thread may have taken a different direction.

“Psychotherapy works by going deep into the brain and its neurons and changing their structure by turning on the right genes. The talking cure works by "talking to neurons," and that an effective psychotherapist or psychoanalyst is a "microsurgeon of the mind" who helps patients make needed alterations in neuronal networks.” Norman Doidge
