They believe that becoming a helper or healer is a calling, but one that is fraught with danger and burdens. After all, clients come to us in pain and despair, hoping we will cure their suffering and leech away their toxic energy. They have unrealistic expectations about what is within our power to do. They are often in very bad moods. And they come to talk to us, in part, because they don't feel that anyone else has the patience or interest to listen to them"--
