Counseling
I have a friend, P who was asking me to join her for counseling services recently.
Actually, I have the interests to learn the Physcology to explore how people think on their minds.
But, after she told me a story, this held me from moving in.
She told me that there was a case where a person was commit suicide after receiving the counseling session done by a professional staff. I feel that I will become very guilty if one’s commit suicide because of my words.
I am not a strong person actually.

Wow…a person actually committed suicide? Perhaps it wasn’t the professional staff problem. I believe he/she did try his/her best.
keeyit || Yeah.. but I means myself I will feel guilty.

true. I’ve been considering for the longest time to volunteer at old folks home or shelter homes but I know I won’t be strong enough to handle myself when I see them being left alone like that. haih.
sad to hear about the case.
keeyit || Yeah… And I am a person who easily cry too..

I guess to become a counselor, you need to have strong wills, and you must not be affected by the person.
keeyit || Oh.. my criteria not fulfill already.. I easy to get affected by person.

Counselling is not all daisies and niceties. I remember when my mom was counselling, she’d go to hospitals & homes (at odd hours). They have threatened to harm her and themselves during counselling sessions.
In counselling, u have to be strong and decisive. To know when to be cold, when to pity, when to speak, when to shame them, etc. All this to help these ppl get better. Its not easy but u really need to have a heart of compassion and empathy also.
keeyit || Wahhhhh…. thanks for advices. I will think it all over again.

May be that person would have done it anyway with or without attending the counseling session.
keeyit || Yeah, i understand.. but I will still feel guilty…
