I know that I would not make a good individual or couples counselor. It would drain me, because I'd be constantly screwing up, not knowing how to respond. It only comes naturally to me with my husband and some family and people who I can talk back and forth with about our problems. I can see me, though, being an art therapist or leading a therapeutic creative writing group. The focus would not be on the relationship between the therapist and the patient, but on a the creative outlet.
