Let’s be real.
Even though we’re educated clinical professionals… we’re still human.
We might seem like we have it all together, but trust me, therapists are navigating our own messy human journeys too. We’re not immune to conflict, illness, loss, trauma, or suffering.
We doubt ourselves.�We wing it sometimes.�We struggle with our own mental health.
And that’s okay. It’s part of the gig.
What keeps many of us committed to this work is the same thing we often hope for our clients: growth, awareness, and the willingness to keep showing up.
It’s not that therapists somehow don’t have problems. Of course we do!
It’s that we try to stay AWARE of ourselves and take care of our own mental health so we can continue showing up for the people who trust us with theirs. Thats the key.
Let’s normalize conversations about mental health within our own profession too!
