Your Therapist Dreads That Cancellation Email Too

In this episode, Jess and Ryan talk about something most people never see: what it’s like for therapists when they realize they might need to cancel a session or take time off. It’s usually not a quick or easy decision. There’s often a lot of back and forth — wondering if they should push through, worrying about how it might affect clients, and sitting with the guilt that can come with stepping away.They also talk about compassion fatigue and the subtle ways therapists start to notice when they’re running on empty. Sometimes those moments are what signal that it’s time to pause and take care of themselves, even when it feels uncomfortable. Tune in for a vulnerable conversation on what it means to try to show up for clients while also being human 💕🎙️Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her)Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her)Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her)Follow us on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@yourtherapistisnotokay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
