Therapists In Therapy
Need Therapy
“When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers.”
Even professional therapists need therapy for their own lives. Independent of supervision, many therapists run into experiences or hardship where counseling can help.
Some signs that you may need therapy include
- You have a personal or relationship issue that you just can’t seem to fix by yourself
- You find that the same old patterns are popping up in your life. For example, you were bullied in childhood, and you feel that familiar sense of rejection when your partner gets angry at you
- You feel burned out in your career or in your life
- You’ve tried the conventional solutions, they haven’t worked, and you want to try well-researched methods
- You want to be careful with who you trust with your inner thoughts
No Shame In Asking For Help
There’s no shame in asking for help. Therapists are human beings afterall. In fact, most clinicians go into this field because we’ve had challenges we learned how to overcome and now want to help others. We recognize the value of receiving therapy because of all the good it does and now want to lovingly turn the focus inward and work on ourselves
A number of therapists have reached out to me over the years because of my training. What I know is that therapy can help make you a stronger clinician. Only people who have been there can truly understand the client’s journey. Once you have dealt with issues of your own, you are better equipped to stand with your clients.
