Thank you for your responses.
What do you think about the saying "Poor is the counselor that places his own self worth above that of his client's!"? This saying just popped into my head this morning. I'm not sure if there is a similiar saying like this, but it kind of has a double sword meaning to it. On one side we do need a counselor who does have self-esteem, and, yet, we don't need a counselor that acts like mine did yesterday.
