My client killed themself
Not sure what I'm looking for, maybe to hear from others who have been through it. We worked together for around 18 months. It was a difficult case and someone who felt so stuck and trapped. They didn't say anything about it ahead of time but I feel so strongly that I should have known and done something. It's been four months and I'm not back to myself yet and it's worrying me. I'm having a hard time relaxing and working can feel really terrible. I'm about to get my independent license and have plenty of clients to have a successful practice and I think about quitting all the time. This is supposed to be the great moment that I've worked towards for 5 years but I feel worse than when I started.
