Are there people out there who really do want to change their life?
I still work, part time, as a self-employed counselor. Lately it seems I have more clients that just want to come in with the theory that they want to improve their life yet refuse to change what their behavior, reactions, and the such. It becomes very frustrating, I will admit, to watch people just continue to be stuck in a mud puddle. I know, I have probably broken some unwritten counselor law to actual be honest about how I feel during sessions, it's the truth though. I got into this field of emotional healing to be an aid towards a better world. Sometimes it seems I more of a shoulder to lean on than a positive influence. So if someone's reading this and their offended by my honesty, well all's I can do is shrug my shoulders. Counselors have feelings too.

How do you cope with that aspect of your job? It must be very frustrating indeed. I think it's great that you post your feelings on the subject...it shows integrity that you are not just out to snatch someone's money and play head games.
