Quicksand

I remember saying to my first therapist that i would hate to think I had been trying to help myself through helping clients and she said simply "why?". I think i imagined that it would not be possible to be fully objectively free to help others if i were trying to help myself at the same time, but now i think it was more my denial of my own needs/issues that could have cost me my objectivity, not my needs/issues as such. The one who jumps into the quicksand to rescue another is likely to help nobody, whereas the one who stands on the edge and throws a rope is safeguarding him/herself in order to be in a position be able to help... Hmmm i am very tired and perhaps i am missing my point in all the mud lol... what do others think ???
