Ep9: The Human behind the Therapist

Calling all therapists to have a listen and honour the human behind their role.


Working in a high pressure role with so much passion can take a toll on us if our environment does not provide the support we need.


We all talk about self-care, but what does that really look like especially when our social battery is completely drained.


Tune in to reflect and think about what you would like to change in your role.


I can't wait to hear your thoughts.
