Contending with so many issues of life stages and life issues that I've never really or fully been through. Sometimes it is difficult to truly empathize or even hold the pain that my clients (people that I help) really go through - as single parents, foreigners, abused spouses/children, children with absent fathers, emotionally-absent mothers, those struggling with mental health issues, divorce, chronic health problems. It's easy to also feel defeated and wonder how much impact we can really make when issues are already so chronic and complex.
Also, even though I've been in field for only a few years, there's been so many challenging issues that I've experienced. And as I contend with these issues, I am also finding myself, personally and professionally.
We are on this journey, and the going is tough, but my clients have also shown resilience amidst their difficulties. In the midst of pain, may we keep going and finding hope.
Press on.
