I don't know if you're seeing a counselor or therapist at the present time or, if you are, if you're able to talk about this stuff. But I think it will be really important for you to do so... especially if you have designs on becoming a therapist yourself one day.
Here's a link to a YouTube video, by family therapist Kati Morton, where Kati talks about the importance of therapists seeing therapists themselves:

Hi!
I really like Kati Morton. I'm subscribed to her channel.
I've been in therapy for 4 years and I'm still seeing a therapist. I plan on talking to her about it more in detail tomorrow when I see her. I brought up that I'm tired but I didn't go into detail. All mental health professionals burnout at some point and it can be very quick, as you said, especially if you're now starting out.
Thanks!
