I want to do something with mental health counseling because I like to help people but my biggest fear with that job is that I will get told some completely horrific stuff by a patient that will stick with me and fck me up mentally myself. Is this a logical fear? Do you get training to help to distance yourself from your patients ailments? I’m a very emotional person and I can see myself getting affected by others stories. TIA
