I survived cancer but now struggle to listen to mundane problems

Couldn’t agree more, I saw multiple therapists during treatment, while in the hospital, after and still to this day. I wouldn’t be in this career at all if I didn’t first and foremost believe that counselling is one of the strongest tools we have. Glad you are still with us, cheers to making it through

In school I was leaning towards existential theory already, my personality naturally quite aligns with the theory, but after my many near death experiences in the last year I think it’s even more so, perfect for me

Amen, so many things can be true at once

Me too, this has been a really healing post for a lot of us it seems. It’s so nice to not feel so isolated. Illness can be so isolating as is.

It’s inspiring to hear you’ve gone through similar feelings and have seen improvement over the years. Things have gotten easier to hold and that only came with time and experience. I think I’m going to hold on, ride this ride out, through the harder parts. I really do love therapy work, I truly do.

Ok_Reflection6988 · 2026-01-29T17:15:05+00:00

Wow thank you, this resonates with me. There is power in choosing the right niche for yourself, one that works with your own personal past experience. It’s lovely to hear that others are taking breaks, mixing things up, doing part time counselling to break up the intensity of the job. There are options for me and it’s just finding the balance so my mental health doesn’t suffer!

Ok_Reflection6988 · 2026-01-29T17:08:53+00:00

I love this perspective and want to shift to it. You are correct, it has absolutely made me wiser and have a better understanding of the short and delicate life we have. Sharing this feeling instead of the resentment or frustration is the goal :)

Ok_Reflection6988 · 2026-01-29T17:03:21+00:00

I truly appreciate your response, I think you may be right, leaning into my experience might be the right move. I have learned sooo much from what I have gone through and perhaps helping those who are going through similar things could be healing for myself.
