The Thriving Therapists

Hello and welcome back thriving gang! 

We hope you’re enjoying the episodes so far ! 

This episode we chat through the huge and often unrealistic expectations put on early career therapists by tertiary institutions, employers and clients. 

We chat about:

•  The student to expert slingshot effect
•  Does tertiary education set us up for failure? (i.e. limited placements and then expectation to be expert) 
•  expectations from employers
•  Expectations from clients both perceived and real 
• Our own experiences of this 

We can’t wait for you guys to listen to this episode, it’s really going to unpack and explore the often invisible pressures we feel. 

If you loved this ep and have been loving the pod we would so appreciate a rating, review or share with a therapist friend to help  support the show and get in more ears for those who need it!

Hello hello!

Welcome back to episode two. 

We hope you enjoyed our first episode, but we wanted to delve deeper into imposterism as a therapist and why (oh why) therapists are more likely to feel like an imposter

We also chat about: 

- fear around speaking up (workplace, supervisors, colleagues)

- our experiences of IS

- IS and how it shows up clinically and personally 

- the short term and long-term impacts of IS

We hope you enjoy and get something out of this ep!

Hi our Thriving Therapist gang! 👋🏻

A huuuge welcome to our first ever episode. 

We had so much fun recording this ep, it was quite a vulnerable one but a powerful one that we hope you can relate to. Part of why we created this podcast was to unpack the very real but often taboo experiences of being a therapist in today’s modern world - one of those being imposter syndrome. 

In this episode we chat through 
- why we created the Thriving Therapist Pod
- our story and experiences of imposterism 
- expectations vs. reality of becoming a therapist 

We hope you love this episode! 
Kat and Aimee

Hey, our names are Aimee and Kat and we are best friends in business and co-founders of the Thriving Therapists. 

And boyyy, are we excited for you to be a part of our new poddy! This podcast is dedicated to the modern-day therapist who feels lacking in their clinical confidence, is feeling isolated and is seeking community. 

We will releasing different topics seasonally, meaning we will spend up to 4-6 episodes deep diving into topical, relevant and important conversations among therapists. 

In this season we’ll be covering Imposter Syndrome and normalising the voice of pesky self-doubt that we, as therapists hear and feel so often. 

Together we will break the stigma around Imposterism and have vulnerable and candid conversations around the realities of being a therapist in today’s modern world. 

So grab your oat milk latte, buckle up, and let us walk you through the sometimes isolating, confusing and complex world of being a therapist. And let us help you go from surviving to thriving. 

Our first three episodes will drop on Monday the 5 February! So stay tuned 👀
