The work that we do clinically is really different, and especially for those of us who are either in single private practice or in very small private practices, we have the clients that we have, but we don't really have a lot of space to get any kind of consultation.
Therapists spend their days supporting others, but who supports them? In this episode of 'All Things Substance', host Betsy Byler dives into the often-overlooked need for therapists to care for themselves. Joined by Dr. Jenny Hughes and Sarah Sanders, both seasoned therapists, the conversation touches on their early career struggles, the lack of support in various work environments, and the impact of burnout.
The trio shares personal stories and practical advice on how therapists can build a supportive community, seek consultation and supervision, and find timely support to handle challenging cases. They stress the importance of both professional and personal care to combat burnout and secondary traumatic stress. Plus, get a sneak peek into their upcoming event, 'Braving the Course', designed to offer further guidance and support.
This episode is a must-listen for therapists seeking to thrive in their profession while maintaining their well-being.
