| Yes, certainly for me too. I was age 40 when I embarked on the Cert and it changed my life completely. I divorced my husband after twenty years of marriage, I changed my self in many ways and totally saw my personality in a different light altogether. It changed my relationships with my family, not ... |

| It is a shame. It is difficult work that we do, dealing with emotions all the time, our own and other folks. Of course we all have issues and there are triggers which set off our insecurities and personal demons. There is challenge and growth and there is attack and defense. To know when which is ha... |

| Well. I would leave but I cannot work out how to :roll: Yes, I do know that we need to be challenged and grow in this way but, for goodness sake, there is a challenge and there is out and out attack and rudeness! Counselling is a lonely business as it is. Oh well! Whatever! I am sure there are many ... |

| Oh dear. I am obviously not coming across very clearly. The written word can be so misunderstood. I do not want to enter into a debate here. I merely meant that I am engaged emotionally with my clients, both male and female. I have not actually ever come across a male who wants a hug, male clients h... |

| By rules and regulations I mean internal or external. Mainly external. I do not remain emotionally detached from my male clients as I am a person-centred counsellor, how can I be a counsellor and remain emotionally detached? Surely this would not be acceptable? I guess it depends on your definition ... |
