What happens when the very path that was supposed to set you free starts to feel like a cage? In this raw, honest episode, I break down the real reason I quit being a therapist — not because I stopped caring, but because I started waking up. We talk about the unspoken grief, the body-based betrayal, and what it means to feel regulated and resentful at the same time. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it me, or is the system broken?” — this one's for you.
I’m naming the quiet parts out loud, walking you through the messy middle, and sharing what it looked like to trust a frequency shift even when nothing made sense on paper. This is about quitting the performance, not the purpose.
Over it but not done? Join The Messy Middle Reset on Friday, January 30, 2026 from 10a-12p CST, my live nervous system sanctuary workshop for helpers. Get the details at https://shawnalovinlpcs.com/services.
