macam mane nie...

the key points of being a counsellor
-refrain frm counter transference (meaning to say that do not allow yr emotions get in the way - maybe bcoz of yr own experience, or you have a "soft spot" for the matter)
-empathy
-be authentic
- etc, etc, etc

and of all the key points, i cant stop the counter transference, too much (way too) of empathy.
i kinda just finished reading the 1st chapter of "A child called IT".
no..nt a ghost story. bt a child who was abused by the mom when he was young.
and i cant stop "feeling something" abt it.
affecting my current mood, my thoughts.
(not that i have a personal experience like his.)(its just the 1st chapter..gosh!)

so tell me..macam mane nie nak jadi counsellor??
klk nt professionally pon, at least a skill which will benefit myself and my closed loved ones.
the art of detachment...NIL.

bt then..hey..im being authentic. true to myself.
i believe that EVERY kid deserves a good childhood. a loving r'ship with the parents.
that's the value which i firmly stand by.
ok not bad, now i think im "somewhere".
=) i feel much betta rambling away..hee! i deal with my short comings later on!
