What are some difficulties that a counselor can encounter when dealing with a client?
Are some clients more difficult than others?
Each client brings their own style they like to a coaching or counseling relationship. When I counseled and coached military I learned to relate to what style of coaching they seek. Some were better at the Drill Sergeant style of coaching, or a liberal style, integrative, humanistic, progressive, or conservative. Some can be obsessed and try and cross the line. When you are in the public eye it can be a bit much and you have to know what client is a good fit for your practice. Some don't see you as human but we are. We seek to do the best we can with our knowledge cause it is a calling and I am sure others will say on here that we have to have our go to place of healing also so we can be good for our clients.
