Notes on Therapist Burnout


Listen Later

You all know I talk about burnout a LOT on T-Talk and in real life. As a therapist who is supporting people with PTSD and trauma week after week, and supervises many clinicians who do the same, I know it can take an invisible toll on one’s physical and mental wellness. Onel that you don’t realize until one day you wake up and you’ve hit the wall.

Dr. Charlie Swenson, DBT Expert & Legend, knows this all too well and in this episode, he shares his wise advice for those of us in private practice or even just in taxing careers. He reminds us why saying no more than yes is a form of self-care and preservation of our gifts and energy. 

Also in this episode:

  • Inspiration for To Hell and Back

  • Healing is all about timing

  • Recovering from waves upon waves 

  • Powerful vulnerabilities 

  • Taking small steps to solve problems 

  • The injury metaphor and burnout 

  • Being able to say no

  • Dr. Charlie Swenson is an Associate Professor at UMass Medical School and is in private practice in Northampton, MA. As a DBT expert, he has produced 83 one-hour podcast episodes since 2017 and authored a book called DBT Principles in Action: Acceptance, Change and Dialectics.

    How do you feel about saying no more often than yes? Share with me!.
