Today's episode of Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah is called "Why IBCLCs Need Therapy." There are so many layers of challenges, from staying ahead at the clinical level to compassion fatigue to conflict with third parties, that self-care has become a primary concern.The good news is that there are many healthy coping mechanisms and strategies, such as leaning on a trusted support team to seeking therapy from mental health professionals. Getting the help we need improves our stress levels and, by default, makes us more effective in providing help to our clients too. "If you feel like you might want therapy, just get therapy. There's no harm in getting it. And even having the feeling that it might be helpful to you is probably a sign that it will be." In this episode, we will cover:The various layers of challenges of an IBCLCCoping strategiesGetting therapy and recommending it to families tooAnnie’s Tech Tip: Use a camera not your phone to take photosLeah’s Marketing Tip: List down 5 people who are your support team Like this episode?
