In this solo episode, I share my experience starting out as a therapist a few years ago, including memories of my very first session during internship, the feelings of anxiety, and the pressure I felt to “have it all together.” I talk about my own mental health struggles, and how I've worked through feelings of shame around this...now viewing them as part of what makes me the therapist I am.I open vulnerably about what it means to me to be therapist and a human in the room, and how our struggles can shape the way we show up with others.Almost to the 300th episode!!STAY CONNECTED: INSTA: <a href='http://www.instagram.com/trustandthrive'>@trustandthrive</a> TIKOK: <a href='https://www.tiktok.com/@trustandthrive?'>@trustandthrive</a> EMAIL: trustandthrive@gmail.com
