Give yourself a break. If you are a woman professional, it is hard. Everyone who looks like they have it together on Instagram does not have it together.
In this insightful episode of The Modality Podcast, host Molly Johnson delves into the specialized realm of therapy for women in leadership roles. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Molly brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to the table, highlighting the emotional and psychological challenges faced by women in high-powered positions.
Molly's journey into the mental health field began during a tumultuous time in her own life, prompting her to pursue a career in couples therapy. Over time, she found herself increasingly drawn to working with individuals, particularly women in leadership. This niche developed organically as she encountered numerous clients fitting this profile during her tenure at a private practice. The podcast addresses the common challenges women in leadership face, including questions about their legitimacy in roles traditionally dominated by men.
Molly emphasizes the importance of therapy in providing a space for these women to process stress, isolation, and pressure. She advocates for body-based approaches, such as somatic experiencing, which help clients reconnect with themselves and release stored tension. Somatic experiencing, a key modality discussed, encourages clients to develop self-awareness and make conscious decisions that integrate cognitive, emotional, and somatic elements.
Molly also shares strategies for managing the demands of leadership, including incorporating rituals and practices that promote mental clarity and emotional balance. Listeners interested in further exploring these topics are directed to resources like Insight Timer for body awareness practices, and recommended readings including "Hold Me Tight" by Sue Johnson and "Getting Past Your Past" by Francine Shapiro. Molly's work can be further explored on her website, Convergence Trauma Therapy, where she offers group sessions and blogs.
This episode is a valuable resource for clinicians working with high-achieving women, providing insights into therapy techniques that foster resilience and empowerment. Molly's advice to listeners is simple yet profound: give yourself a break, and remember that perfection is not the goal.
