In this episode of the Therapy Shed we chat about the importance of self-care and maintaining social connections as the seasons change to Autumn/Winter time. We are once again joined by a very special guest, trainee clinical therapist and all round nice guy, Nathan Nairn. We discuss the difficulty of studying during COVID, along with the importance of timing, on a personal level, when beginning training to become a therapist. Nathan shares his personal experiences of mental health challenges, the inspiration to begin training in mental health and how he began to find the right course for his interests. We chat about each of our experiences working as a therapist, the anxiety of meeting clients for the first time, along with the challenges and rewards of working in the world of mental health.
