Being a Therapist... The Struggle Is Real! | E1

No matter how much you care about your clients or your craft, being a therapist can be a struggle! Between isolation, burnout, financial stressors, and being exposed to other people's trauma day after day, it's no wonder so many clinicians leave the profession. But when you have healthy boundaries, a balanced workload, and most of all, a supportive community, being a therapist can be a joy — which is exactly what it should be.  Introducing Love, Happiness and Success for Therapists. I'm your host, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, a fellow therapist and the founder and clinical director of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching. As therapists, we know how to create a space for growth and connection for others. Now it's time we created one for ourselves! Every week, I'm bringing you episodes on topics that matter to YOU — like how to prosper financially as a therapist while maintaining work-life balance, how to deal when clients ghost, and why your clients are getting stuck (and what you should do about it). This podcast is dedicated to your growth and empowerment. Being a therapist can be a struggle, but it does not have to be. So let's explore our opportunities, overcome our obstacles, and build something better, together.  xoxo,  Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby  P.S. — You can take my "How to Flourish and Thrive as a Therapist" Quiz here: https://su.vc/flourish
