What inner wounds must a person confront and heal within themselves in order to truly hold space for the healing of others in a career devoted to social work and counseling??
I've learned in my social work class and from friends who work in the field, that self-care is extremely important in preventing burnout, as well as maintaining a healthy and unbiased relationship with the patients and clients they work with. Would love to get more insight on others' experience with treatment for their own personal issues while working in the field.

How do you cope with regret?
There is an endless variety of jobs available, from software engineer, to anesthesiologist, to landscape architect. Most people are not simply skilled in one area, but in multiple arenas of study. There are many times I have overheard conversations of jobholders wishing they had entered this profession instead of that, while they still had the chance. With a large possibility for regret concerning an occupation, how do you handle this should it arise? #emotional-intelligence #decision-analysis #reflection #career-counseling
