This discussion reminded me of the unique experience of being a therapist. I am so grateful for my guest (an educational psychologist) sharing some of her thoughts and experience with having to get to the difficult decision of changing her practice as a psychologist for her own mental health and wellbeing. Asking for help, when you are the one usually offering the help, can be such a difficult thing to do. Psychologists often suffer in silence, becuase your problems might always seem minute in the greater scheme of things. Practicing as a psychologist is for most practitioners extremely isolating and lonely. If anything, this discussion reminded me how important it is to just talk. Talk to your colleauges about the things you struggle with, things that you find triggering, mistakes you make with clients, and uncomfortable experiences in the therapy room. Go for therapy. And go for supervision. These spaces exist for a reason. If you enoyed this episode, please take a few seconds to rate it on whatever platform you are listening on.
