What happens when the person helping everyone else becomes exhausted, doubtful and disconnected from their own abilities?
In this episode of Uncovered, Jason Irving sits down with naturopath Carrie Walters for a conversation about burnout, perfectionism, self-doubt, holistic health and learning to trust yourself again.
Carrie shares how years of believing she wasn't "good enough" affected her confidence, her work and eventually contributed to stepping away from naturopathy.
But that same belief also pushed her to research, learn and constantly improve.
So when does striving make us better, and when does it start working against us?
Jason and Carrie explore the difference between trying to "fix" people and supporting them through a deeper process of self-discovery.
In this episode, they discuss:
• How perfectionism can contribute to burnout • Why helpers and practitioners can feel pressure to appear like they have everything together • The effect of constantly comparing yourself with others • How the belief "I'm not good enough" can both motivate and limit you • Why self-trust matters in both life and business • The pressure of feeling responsible for someone else's outcome • Why health can involve more than focusing on symptoms alone • The importance of understanding your habits, emotions and lifestyle • Why different people may need different approaches • How trust and honesty can change the practitioner-client relationship • The difference between trying to fix someone and helping them understand themselves • Why personal growth can become an ongoing journey rather than a final destination
One of the biggest shifts Carrie describes is moving away from:
"I need to fix this person."
And toward:
"How can I help this person understand themselves and take part in their own journey?"
That change also meant letting go of the idea that she had to be perfect in order to help other people.
