Ep 98: Why Therapists Need Their Own Therapy Now More Than Ever

In today’s episode, I’m diving into an important but often overlooked topic—why therapists need therapy too. As therapists, we spend our days holding space for others, processing trauma, and helping clients navigate life’s hardest moments. But what about us?The emotional weight of this work is real, and when you add in family responsibilities, global stressors, and the constant pressure to be “the strong one,” it’s easy to forget our own needs. Therapy isn’t just beneficial—it’s essential.I share why prioritizing our own mental health makes us better therapists, parents, and people. Plus, I’ll walk through practical ways to avoid burnout and build a sustainable self-care practice. Let’s talk about what it really means to take care of ourselves while we care for others.If you find today's episode helpful or inspiring, be sure to share it with your therapist friends, subscribe to the show, and leave your five star rating and review.Grab your FREE copy of Comprehensive Connecting: Effective Scripts That Expand Your Networking Community & Actually Fill Your Online PracticeIn this guide you will get:Tips and tricks for building relationships that will lead to referrals in your practiceReal life examples of messages used to connect with referral sourcesCustomizable “Plug and send” scripts for your specific practice and needsDownload your guide here https://bit.ly/CompConnecting Follow Us On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raisedtoempower⭐️ Follow on Instagram @Raisedtoempower⭐️ Grab your FREE networking guide for therapists HERE ⭐️ Learn more about how I can help support you and your practice, and ways we can work together at www.raisedtoempower.com💻 This episode is sponsored by Jane — the all-in-one practice management software I use and love.
