A Manifesto by Ashley Barnes, LCPC
A Counselor’s Grief is a written manifesto by Ashley Barnes, LCPC, for those in helping professions who carry the emotional weight of supporting others in visible and invisible ways.
This short-form work names counselor grief, emotional labor, and the quiet cost of long-term containment—when holding space slowly turns into carrying responsibility that was never meant to be yours.
Written as a reflective work rather than a clinical resource, this manifesto offers language for what often goes unnamed and closes with a guided moment of reflection.
This is not a therapy service, grief counseling program, workbook, or treatment guide. It is a moment of recognition for those who have long been “the strong one.”
If you have ever felt the weight of being reliable, calm, and capable for others, this work was written for you.
It resonates with counselors, coaches, pastors, parents, community leaders, educators and persons who are frequently positioned as an anchor—the listener, the supporter, the problem-solver.
The common thread is not profession, but held responsibility.
