Lately I've been having trouble showing empathy to my patients, it’s hard for me to not get too emotionally involved. How do you all keep that balance?

I’m not sure I guess throughout the years you just become desensitized in a way…. Don’t get me wrong I have certain situations I get more attached than others but I’ve learned to separate the two pretty well.

Its really hard OP and most times I still end up in tears but that is just who I am. Part of the reason I am so great with patients is because I am an empath and I let myself get close. Its nice for patients to see us as humans too.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
