If you have previously received therapy or counseling, this might be a good time to reflect on that experience and how it affected you as an individual and your work with others. If you have never been in therapy, you may want to consider whether you would be willing to seek therapy at some time. If you are open to the idea, what benefits would you hope to receive? If you are opposed to the idea of entering therapy for yourself, give some thought to the reasons why. You may also want to consider what alternative methods you will establish and practice to cope with how your work affects you personally and how your own issues affect your work.
