When Helping You is Hurting Me: Counselor Care Ethics

COUNSELORS, THERAPISTS AND those in the helping professions are often thought of as being compassionate people. Indeed, many who feel called into the profession readily identify with the compassion of Christ as He related to people. Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary de- fines the term compassion as a “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress, together with a desire to alleviate it.” For Frost (1999), it is a much broader concept than sympathy because it “entails and even inspires helpful and merciful action.” In South Africa, the word “ubuntu” is used, meaning humaneness or a sense of compassion combined with communality. Since most systematic studies underscore the critical importance of the therapeutic alliance between clinicians and clients, mental health providers are frequently in close proximity to the emotional suffering and trauma of those they treat. Although leading with grace may be a learned capability and most people probably have some potential in this area, liberating it is an entirely different matter. Perhaps it is the test of pressure or uncertain times that reveals the inner heart of a person.

by publik16 Question by notgrannysmith: Can someone who has a “Mental Illness” become a counselor or psychiatrist? If the person hasn’t “gotten better” or learned to cope, can they? What if the person has NO idea what is “wrong” with him/her? Should a person use schooling to be a counselor as his/her own form of therapy? Best answer: Answer by snizz35Well self therapy is like home surgery. You can probably do it, it’s just not going to be very useful. But you can definitely become a counselor. In the meantime it would probably be helpful to get some mental help counseling! What do you think? Answer below!
