Drained

Today was a tough day for me. Although I absolutely love the fact that I am now meeting with my first client (!), I was caught off-guard by how emotionally draining a 50-minute session can be. I know that if I'm going to maintain sanity in this career I'm going to have to learn how to emotionally distance myself from my clients, but it's just so hard to not be affected by the pain of others. I don't know how I'm going to get better at this, but I know it needs to happen sooner rather than later.

I know I could probably say more, but I think that's all I really feel like saying right now... I just need to stop thinking about today and get ready for tomorrow.
