Episode 80 | Therapists Are Human Too

Do therapists go to therapy? Can someone go into the mental health field if they have a mental health diagnosis? Do therapists really use the coping skills they teach in session? In today's episode of Psych Talk I talk all about therapists being human. I address some of the common questions or concerns I hear on social media regarding therapists and becoming a therapist, as well as discuss the human side of therapists. At the end of the day, therapists are just like you. We go to therapy, we make mistakes, we have our own struggles, we grieve, and we have a life outside our job as therapists. My hope for this episode is that it humanizes therapists, gives clients insight into the human side of their therapist, and makes fellow therapists feel less alone. Ways to Work With Me:Mind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Anti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphdFollow the podcast on IG @psych.talk.podcastFollow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughSponsors & Collaborations:BetterHelpIntro/Outro Music:Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic LicenseAwakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, M.Th., LPCExperience Awakening....Relaxing into your Being and, therefore, Happiness.
