Episode Synopsis

Dany and I went through both our undergraduate and graduate social work program together. We both started working as mental health clinicians shortly after graduating and are currently still growing as therapists. Dany and I talk about things that we recommend as therapists, but don't always do... Your therapist is also a human and also experiencing different life seasons. Even WE sometimes get pushed to our limit or have clients that truly require all of our energy and it can get exhausting. We have different ways of getting through the seasons where life is throwing things at us while still doing our best to hold space for our clients. One of these ways, is tapping into our inner child. Another way, is taking breaks. As we grow as therapists we do our best to continue learning with an open mind. We both remember bring taught (at some point) to become an expert at not being an expert, or, to keep from calling ourselves experts because this would mean the learning stops. As humans we are always learning, and as therapists we are always learning.
