On this first episode, Chiwoo talks about why he created No Therapist Left Behind. Chiwoo will be interviewing fellow therapists who are willing to show their human sides. Here are some of the goals this podcast would like to accomplish:
-Normalization and humanization of therapists: Therapists go through life's challenges and growth just like anybody else.
-Model vulnerability: While challenges are inevitable, vulnerability is what makes us grow.
-Undo our aloneness: By practicing vulnerability and celebrating growth with one another, we hope to undo our alonenss.
Chiwoo also shares his story of how he has been growing as a therapist and a human. The current theme of his journey is "self-love." As a natural giver, Chiwoo has been struggling with loving himself as much as he loves others. He talks about how his people-pleasing tendencies aided him through his stormy childhood but how they are hindering him from being his authentic self. Now he is dedicated to giving the love and compassion to himself that he deserves.
