08: Managing Your Own Mental Health as a Therapist

Yes, therapists also struggle with mental health! That’s why we’re talking about it.  We decided to get vulnerable about our mental health journeys to do our part in breaking the mental health stigma.  We know that to hold space for others, we must first make space. Settle in your cozy chair, grab a blanket, and join us as we discuss the following topics during this week’s episode: The importance of therapists going to therapy. How to manage countertransference and vicarious trauma. Therapists should be actively addressing their pain points. How do we hold space for clients going through similar situations?   Accessibility to mental health. Discussing why shopping around for a therapist is beneficial, even if it can be tiring. Finding a therapist who works with therapists. Therapists de-stigmatizing mental health. How to navigate the days when we are struggling with our mental health.
