 Psychologist here... I disagree. I do care about my patients. I do hope they find peace and fulliment and healing. Yes, getting reciprocity back is helpful as being in a space of dedication to help someone is very hard work physically and emotionally. 
 Your patient’s are blessed to have you but it’s not to be ignored that you have colleagues who go to work solely for compensation. 
 This is true. There are others whom are not going to be helpful in the profession. The key is how to decern into what makes a good clinician. If anyone needs help, I can give you my thoughts in that area. Just DM me.
