Yep, I get that. At one point, I wanted to be a social worker (like the kind going to people's homes, not clinical). My mom said I couldn't do it because I would care too much and get too involved. It bothered me, but she's probably right...would be the same if I was a T, I imagine. I'd be waking in the middle of the night looking at my e-mails/texts at 3 a.m. to make sure my clients were OK. My boundaries would likely really suck...
Thanks for this!
