Have you ever felt your voice drowned out by the environment you were meant to thrive in? Join Dr. Teralyn and Jen, two therapists daring to challenge the status quo, as they recount the twists and turns of their careers in mental health. Woven through our personal narratives, this episode reveals the subtle yet pervasive ways in which professionals can become gaslit in their workplaces and the wisdom we've unearthed from these experiences. Reflecting on the instinctual cues we ignored and the mentorships that molded us, we aim to spark a light of awareness and advocacy within you.The journey through the mental health field is neither straight nor narrow, as Jen and I can attest. We share our trials of proposing innovative solutions met with resistance and recount the crossroads that led us to divergent paths within the same organization. Our discussion is vulnerable as we delve into the traumatic stints in supervisory roles and the critical moments that beckoned us to step away from suffocating work environments. This conversation isn't merely a recount; it's a testament to the transformation that's possible when you choose your identity and happiness over the comfort of conformity.As we close this episode, we dissect the intricate web of inadequacy and the struggle to maintain critical thinking against the grain of suppressive systems. Our professional pivots—from traditional settings to the autonomy of private practice—uncover the ongoing challenges beneath the surface of being one's own boss. We invite our listeners to join us as whistleblowing informants, engage with us beyond these audio waves, and let's kindle a collective movement toward genuine change in the landscape of mental health care. --------------------------------------------------------HelloPlayground.com CLICK HERE to get 15% off Your First Order Are you tired of being gaslit and want to DEEP THROAT some more truth?
