BCG~ I have always sufferred from the same problem. I love my students, honestly, genuinely and when they are hurting or troubled then I feel the same. It's because we feel this way that we do the types of things we do and do them well.

I also am a Guardian Ad Litem and sometimes the stuff I do is really heavy. High emotions, families, children's lives can be at stake and it can really bog you down. A wise attorney (no that is not an oxymoron) once told me that after I have been in court or at a home or school visit I should take 3-5 minutes in my car and detoxify/de-stress myself. So I do. I sit there and listen to some music, breathe exhaling deep and try to let all the negativity or worry/concern leave with each breath. Then I inhale deeply and concentrate on positive forces in my life. I try not to take it home and dump it all over everyone there.

Now a gypsy curse says if you light a yellow candle and write your worry or sorrow on a piece of paper and burn it in the fire it will disappear with the ashes.
