THERAPY FOR THERAPISTS
IN FLORIDA

Are you:

• Distressed about your own life being less-than-stellar and worried clients or colleagues may find out?

• Scared or embarrassed to seek counseling because you’re afraid of how you’ll be perceived in the field if you do?

• Striving for perfectionism and finding it’s an impossible goal?

• Struggling with feeling anxious/overwhelmed/ineffective because you believe you should have your $hit together?

• Losing sleep at night from anxiety or stress or having other health stressors?

• Have you gotten so lost in your work that you forget how to unplug and find joy?

• Are you way less happy than you want to be?

I’ve been there.

When I started a dual master’s program at BU, studying public health and social work, my stress went through the roof! I was working full-time as an addictions counselor, AND in school. My marriage was unraveling (but that had been the case from day one).

I felt embarrassed to seek help, but I couldn’t hide my stress about my crumbling marriage any longer. Thankfully, my professors gave me kind encouragement to find help.

I started therapy. It was such a relief to talk to a therapist who understood me! Recognizing that therapy for therapists was a real thing, I opened up and got the support I needed. My therapist helped me find my voice and eventually re-connect to joy (read= I had to courage to speak up, change my life and leave a toxic relationship).

Brene Brown, famed Social Worker Professor at UT Houston and author of Daring Greatly, Rising Strong, Braving the Wilderness, and her latest, Dare to Lead, has been there too. She disclosed about her “breakdown aka Spiritual Awakening” in her famed TEDx talk and in her first big book The Gifts of Imperfection.

She spoke of going to see a therapist who sees therapists, because she needed “someone who could call her on BS if needed.” Brene says her life was unraveling and how she now knows the universe gives us wake up calls.

She credits her year of therapy to helping her wake up to living a WHOLEHEARTED life, full of way more compassion, loads of better self-care practices and more self-love.
