It's difficult to analyse things in the heat of the moment but sometimes one's profession requires it. A lifetime ago, I went through a serious marriage meltdown (wife paranoid schizophrenic) while at work trying not to respond to a recently separated female 'client' who exclaims: "You wouldn't have a clue what I'm going through!"
My own severe stress reaction while managing the very staff support team designed to help. Lodging a compo claim to show staff it is OK to do it. Knowing in full the theory of what they SHOULD be doing for me while they stuffed it up.
A brother not talking to me for 8 years...until recently...and even now egg shells. This was a brother I had lent my ear on a daily basis for several months while he went through a painful separation and messy divorce.
To name but a few during my adulthood.
Think of the 3 sides at least to every coin.
