It does. I pretended nothing was wrong for six or seven years before having a huge freakout panic attack that made me decide I needed to do something. I'm lucky that was all that happened. Sometimes, people need to hit a lower low than they've previously had to give them a kick up the arse to get moving. Problem is, sometimes that low is rock bottom... hard way to learn a lesson.
My brother is in a similar situation. He's a qualified counselor who really should get counseling for some family shit. He won't.
I don't know where you're from, but here, counsellors and psychologists are required to have what they call "supervision", which means that for every x amount of client face time they have, they need to see a counsellor of their own to deal with stuff that comes up in their sessions. I would imagine it would cover some of their own stuff, too. Idk if that's a thing where you are.
That actually makes a ton of sense. That they make counsellors and psychologists see a counsellor for every x amount of people they deal with. Never really thought about that aspect of that specific field of work.
I wonder if they implement it in other countries as well
IIN that I am a Psychology major, but refuse to..
