That is, once I left my ivory tower of perceived knowledge and sat one-to-one in a therapist's office, with the chairs placed 'just so'. All that was missing was the box of tissues. I thought working in mental health would make me immune to mental health difficulties; boy, was I wrong. Working in mental health in no way makes me immune to anything.
