Some of the most important things never make it into the notes.

The sigh of relief.

The first time they laugh in session.

The way they look at the door and finally choose to stay.

You can’t capture that in bullet points.

But it’s what tells me therapy is working.

You don’t need to have the perfect response.You just need to be there when it matters.

The hardest part isn’t answering questions. It’s asking them.

Because every question risks too much, too soon.

Or not enough.

Every question is a decision:

Will this open a door, or shut one?

Therapists don’t just listen.

We take risks, too.

Clients don’t always know how much I hold back.

There are things I could say.

Links I could make.

Connections I could point out.

But it’s not about how fast I see it.

It’s about how ready they are to.

Patience is part of the practice.

No one warned me how weird it feels to charge for care.

I believe in boundaries.
I believe in valuing the work.

But there’s still a part of me that feels off when I hit “send invoice.”

Because therapy is sacred.
And money feels… transactional.

Balancing the two?

That’s its own emotional labour no one talks about.

Not every session needs a breakthrough.

There won’t always be a big insight or a moment where everything clicks. Sometimes the win is simpler: you show up, you say it out loud, and you leave feeling a little lighter.

That steady work, done consistently, is where change comes from.

Coming back might be one of the most meaningful things a client does.

Even when it’s uncomfortable.
Even when last session wasn’t dramatic.
Even when they’re not sure it’s helping.

Showing up again is trust.

I don’t take it lightly.

Everything else rests on that.

People think I leave it all at the office. I don’t I don’t carry names or details.But I carry the heaviness.The grief th...

People think I leave it all at the office. I don’t

I don’t carry names or details.

But I carry the heaviness.

The grief that sits in my chest long after the session.

The anger I can’t resolve for them.

The echoes of silence that stay with me.

I put it down eventually.

But it takes work.

And most people never see that part.

Therapists are always watching the clock in two ways.

One eye on the story,

One eye on the time.

Knowing when to let someone open up,
and when to gently land the session so they don’t leave raw.

It’s invisible work.

But it’s essential.

They say something that used to shake me.
They react in a way I once would’ve rushed to fix.

And I notice
I’m steadier now.
More patient.
Less reactive.

This work changes you quietly, over time.

Counselling is also remembering the things they thought you’d forget

The pet’s name.

The off-hand comment about an anniversary.

The way they described a childhood photo.

It’s not in the notes.

It’s in the connection.

And when you bring it back,

they know they were really heard.

Even empathy has a cost

I lean in, I attune, I feel with them.

That’s the job. That’s the privilege.

But no one tells you how much it takes from your body.

How exhausted your nervous system feels after a day of being steady for everyone else.

The empathy doesn’t switch off.

It lingers until I find ways to reset.
