I have a wonderful conversation with Michelle Hirschman of Hirschman Clinical Services on the topic of vicarious trauma among helping professionals. Michelle shares her extensive experience working with a team of mobile coaches who assist clients with chronic mental health issues, eating disorders, and substance abuse. We discuss the importance of recognizing signs of burnout and the unique supports Michelle's organization offers to therapists and the recovery treatment community. Additionally, Michelle introduces her initiative to integrate holistic healing modalities for both clients and professionals. We also emphasize the significance of maintaining self-care and resilience in the face of professional challenges.
