Join us for an inspiring conversation with Jim LaPierre, LCSW, CCS, the owner and director of Higher Ground Services in Brewer, Maine. As a recovery ally, LGBTQ+ ally, therapist, addictions counselor, and the creator of thebesttherapy.org, Jim brings unparalleled expertise and compassion to his work. He's also the cofounder of Sobernow.com, offering free online addiction recovery programs.

In this episode, Jim dives deep into overcoming imposter syndrome, revealing it's more about identity and unhealed wounds than the job itself. He vulnerably shares his personal experiences as a wounded healer, using his struggles to open doors for others. Key themes include self-care, burnout, anxiety, and the power of self-acceptance.

Jim teaches us that our effectiveness as healers and helpers is intimately connected to our own well-being. His wisdom empowers us to transform our own journeys while continuing to be beacons of hope and healing for those we serve. Don't miss this enriching discussion!
