This is a reair of the first episode, my edits weren't saved, so I fixed it and now it's out of order, haha! This is real life inperfection :) If there are some editing mistakes, I have tried to update in podcast players, but they may not be updated. Anyways! If you're a therapist feeling burned out or considering leaving the profession? I want to share with you my story on the "Finding Joy After Burnout" podcast. I've been passionate about burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and working with therapists from the start of my career, even though I didn't realize it until recently. The pandemic was a culmination of burnout and vicarious trauma for me, and it made me want to help other therapists avoid the same situation.
As a therapist myself, I understand the toll that the work can take on one's mental and emotional health. The pressures of the job, coupled with the stress of everyday life, can lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and even vicarious trauma. It's a tough road to navigate, and many therapists struggle with finding the support they need to continue doing the work they love.
In this podcast episode, I share my personal experiences with burnout and how I overcame it. I've been in your shoes, and I understand how challenging it can be to find the right path forward. Whether you're just starting your career or have been in the field for years, my story can help you find the support and resources you need to overcome burnout and continue doing the work you love.
By listening to this podcast, you'll learn practical strategies to help you manage burnout, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma. You'll hear about the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and finding support. I'll also discuss how to recognize the signs of burnout and what steps you can take to prevent it.
If you're considering leaving the profession because of burnout, I urge you to listen to this podcast before making any decisions. Burnout is a serious issue, and it's not something you should ignore. With the right support and resources, you can overcome burnout and find joy in your work again. I'm living proof of that.
