Doulas need emotional and relational encouragement just as much as any other person. But this work is especially taxing in how you give of yourself for the type of support you are giving to clients. While we need those skills in all of life to really decipher who is a good support person that is really vital for doulas. This episode outlines what types of support every doula needs to have on their team.
First, an emotional support you loves you dearly, can listen well, can empathize when things are hard but not right away try to steer you away from doula work!
Second, you need other doulas who know the lingo and the context of what you’re sharing and can kind of meet you where you are in those things!
Third, you need someone who believes in your BIG DREAMS! I mean the really really big ones. If you mainly have support people who can’t quite see as big of a dream as you have then they are going to be nervous for you chasing your big dreams rather than helping you get there.
It’s also just as vital to know who to NOT get emotional support from!
