    I agree.

    “Compassion Fatigue” is a real thing therapists talk about.

    Half the therapy horror stories I hear sound like they’re born out of that.

        Right? I feel like this person posting this has never had someone just trauma dump on them, it’s exhausting.

          Most of the time I can’t be emotionally there has nothing to do with them, it’s just me dealing with my own brain.

      “Therapy horror story” sounds like a weird horror movie sub-genre!

      (But on a serious note, that’s why it’s important to set boundaries/limits while providing care)
