I stopped doing psychotherapy because I either became too wrapped up in the patient's issue in some cases, and just couldn't muster up any genuine empathy in others.
When the best "therapeutic" response I can come up with is "what the f@ck are you doing to yourself?!". . .it's time to stop pretending that I'm actually being helpful.

That actually worked with one of my borderline clients.
Thanks for the great information,
