Join us for part two of our interview on Internal Family Systems Theory 

We are your cohosts for the Zest for Therapy Podcast Courtney Doman AMFT and Celeste Webster MSWi. Whether you are a pre-licensed intern, provisionally licensed therapist, or just feel new regardless of your license status, we know being a new therapist can be overwhelming. You are stepping out of your comfort zone, learning new things, sharpening your therapy skills, working on yourself, all while balancing life outside of work, or school. You might be experiencing imposter syndrome or still be finding your footing in therapy. Our goal at Zest for Therapy is to support new therapists by normalizing your experience, filling your tool box, and keeping you research informed. We want to build your confidence and competence, and ultimately help you feel less alone. We hope you join our supportive community and know that there are tools to help you as a therapist in your work to overcome burnout, overwhelm, and stagnation.

In this episode we explore shame and the masks we wear. We explore how we see that in ourselves as new clinicians, how we see that in our clients, and ways to explore and address both.

After we wrapped our episode on burnout I kept thinking how nice it would be to have someone walk me through my check ins on my way to work, so that is what we are doing today! We are going to be using some assessments specifically for mental health professionals and one from aviation that could also be applied to helping professions.

Join us for an epsiode where we share stories of first moments as a therapist in the therapy office. We have many cringy and laughable moments to share to help normalize feeling like an imposter and the learning curve that comes with these first steps as a new therapist.

Join us for our episode on private practice vs agency work and the pros and cons of working for each of them!
