I am a social worker and this was the discussion my H had with me and then I had with IC...it is a unfair state to put individuals in the 'field' into...
Did you see all the problems in your marriage before they happened or it was too late...just because we can see issues and help others does not make up experts on our lives too...
That is why I am in IC...I need additional help...and yes I think half the time we are all in the field because we get help day to day...but the last thing some days we want to do is then turn inward and look at issues at home.
I have been able to use my skills to assist me now...but if I was not willing to see the issues or address them in the past it is going to take a lot of work and time to address and change them now!
Going in with the attitude of trying to get things in better terms is great...and having the time is always nice too...take it...good luck!
