Final Examination An area in my life that needs growth and which may impact my work in field next year is my emotional attachment to clients.

Cons would be that the client does not show any signs of trying to improve their situation and it would lead me to exhausting myself and taking away my ability to fully engage with other clients. Lastly, I would write down a list of the things I can and cannot do prior to meeting with a client. Pros of that would be that I can get a better understanding and already be aware of the dos and don’ts so I know how I can handle certain situations. Cons would be trying to go above and beyond the list even though I am already aware of
