Designing a Sustainable Therapy Career: Reflections on Burnout, Legacy, and Letting Go
Designing a Sustainable Therapy Career: Reflections on Burnout, Legacy, and Letting Go
Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy reflect on what it takes to build and sustain a meaningful therapy career and how to leave the profession well. They explore professional identity, burnout, and how to stay connected to the work without losing yourself in it. Drawing from recent interviews with Lynn Grodzki, Margaret Wehrenberg, and Ofra Obejas, they share insights on sustainability, capacity, and creating a “good finish” for your therapy career.
Key Takeaways for Therapists:
Therapists need intentional career design. Sustainability doesn’t happen by accident.
Burnout can distort your love for the work and your professional identity.
Regular reflection helps ensure your career still aligns with your values and capacity.
Building community and connection is essential to avoiding isolation in private practice.
Planning early for closure allows for a more graceful and fulfilling finish.
