writing with a friend i realized her truth: that hleping professionals just cannot allow others stuff to muss up their own minds and hearts

sometimes i DO 'low others' stuff to ruin my day and not to keep my self defended against all the gunk
othertimes i push it away
sometimes i let it in and then let it right back out
sometimes i make art out of it
sometimes i take it in but somehow can see that it is not my stuff and so it doesn't weaken or bring me down
i want to care and yet also not to overly care
yes in the people helping professions tis so easy to get crispy if the safety shields aren't worn and sometimes i do allow my clients' issues to just totally darken my day...
