I believe it is possible. I really struggled with things like this when I started therapy. I would question how could someone really care if they are paid to do so, how could someone care about a whole caseload of clients, and why would anyone care about me specifically.... I talked about it with my T and that helped, but the biggest thing that helped me was a random comparison. See, I live on a farm and we frequently have kittens outside in the barns and whatnot. I absolutely love kittens and play with them all the time, but at the end of the day I still have to go and take care of my own stuff and I can’t spend all my time worrying about those kittens. That doesn’t mean I don’t care, it just means that it’s not my job to continually worry about their wellbeing, I can give them the tools they need to succeed and grow, but ultimately that is all I can do. I still love them and I cry if something happens to them, but in the end, I can only do so much to take care of them, the rest is on their mother or themselves to a certain extent..... I’m not sure if that helps or not, but it helped me so I thought I might share it.
Thanks for this!
