Someone once asked me why we [therapists] do this for a living
Because to us, to do anything else would not be living. For who else is granted the sacred gift of tending to another person’s tattered and broken soul? Who else is called as witness to discover the depth and beauty of a person, when they or others can no longer see? Who else is called to listen to all that has been left unsaid, seeking voice? Who else is called to become entangled in the story so that a new story can be written? And who else discovers their own soul, when they have touched the soul of another? Why do we do this for a living? How can we not?
