Hi Tore. Thank you for your input.
Actualy, he is not depressed, nor am I. He has a profesional diagnosis of cognitive impairments and ADD, neurological consequences of his documented developmental delay.
I am just on the lookout for transferrence and projection, possible risks of counselling.
A beauty of this kind of work is that it can illuminate our own shadows, which is what I think is happening this time. The school of thought that I buy into is that counselors are humble and active participants in their own healing and evolvement. How could I expect others to dig in the dirt if I pretend to have clean hands?
I believe I have a healthy level of commintment to my work, and this is not a boundary issue on my part, but the illumination of a shadow aspect of myself to work on.
All the best
