Therapy for Therapists
You’re skilled at your craft but you can’t seem to apply the interventions you do with your clients, with yourself.
(or are you? Imposter syndrome can be pretty loud sometimes)
You know it’s important to “do your own work” but it’s hard to find someone who is a good fit or does not know you.
(or maybe that is part of your avoidance? Hard to say.)
You’re burned out providing for others, and don’t really have anyone to talk to that truly understands what it’s like.
(burned out is putting it lightly, you are crispy)
Sometimes you wonder if your stuff is “too much” and it’s better to just keep it tucked away.
(even though you tell your clients all the time this is not true?)
Your stuff is not too much.
You deserve healing, too.
I never set out to do therapy for therapists as a specialty; however, as more therapists filled my caseload, I realized the imperative need and the unique challenges that come with treating therapist pain points specifically. I firmly believe it is vital for us as helpers and healers to do our own work, though I admittedly did not always feel that way - it took me awhile to get to that point for myself! I have seen firsthand how it has helped me be a better clinician, and how it reduces burnout.
If you’re feeling crispy and it’s leaking
into your clinical work - reach out.
There is no judgement here.
