Description

Join us this week as Elizabeth shares her experience of creating a school-based therapeutic program virtually during the pandemic and the impact it had on her mental health. Elizabeth opens up about questioning her self-worth and capabilities as a therapist. She shares the impact of write-ups and disciplinary action on her mental health and how the support of her friends and family helped her realize the need for change. Elizabeth emphasizes the importance of finding the right work environment and how it can positively impact clinical work. She encourages therapists to trust their gut and prioritize their mental health when making career decisions. Get vulnerable with us this week as we dive deep into our own mental health as therapists.

Join us each week for stories from behind the closed therapy door. You’ll hear relatable experiences from other therapists, including bloopers, highlight reels, and other ridiculous moments that you thought you were the only one experiencing. Each episode contains 50% inspiration, 50% storytelling, and 100% real humans and their journey in the mental health field. With burnout running rampant, the last thing you need is another podcast that adds to your to-do list, so drop the notebook. This is a space with no experts, gurus, or hierarchies- just humans sitting in similar chairs. We’re not the gatekeepers for good and bad therapy but we are here to shine a light on the difficult decisions therapists face on a daily basis - and normalize the mysterious gray area of clinical practice that no one wants to talk about. New and seasoned therapists, graduate students, agency employees, private practice owners, and entrepreneurs - this one is for you.
