Ever find yourself in a situation where your clients offload their emotional baggage on you, leaving you feeling drained? In this episode, we explore the intricacies of our unique client relationships as beauty and hair professionals. Have you ever wondered why some label professionals in our line of work as "unpaid therapists"? We certainly have, and we're ready to delve into what this means.
We'll uncover the impact of these heavy conversations on our own well-being, and we'll navigate the unspoken agreements that define these relationships. Hayley shares her insight as a qualified psychotherapist to understand why we seek to fulfil these deep connections.
But we won't shy away from a critical issue: the potential harm that can come when individuals like us step into roles we aren't trained for. Compassion fatigue and retraumatization are genuine concerns, and we'll discuss them openly.
If you've ever been in our shoes we invite you to hear our thoughts in this episode.
