The Cultivation of Counselors

No matter how many patients you've guided through their final moments, can you truly understand the heartache of losing a loved one? No matter how many individuals you've counseled, can you resist the urge to extend compassion beyond professional boundaries when faced with those bearing physical and emotional scars? Even the most compassionate counselor, with boundless love, may hesitate and struggle to support those in grief once they confront the fear of death. When clients are in despair, they turn to counselors for guidance, but who do counselors turn to for nourishment when touched by their clients' pain? "Counselor's Cultivation" delves into counseling theory, culture, and personal experiences to shed light on this question.
