Our own therapy frees us to craft a more integrated and authentic way, of being with and helping others.
Therapy for the therapist or other helping professional is important, from understanding our own complex identities to understanding how our patients impact us, experiencing one’s own therapy is vital to being a fully engaged therapist.
It is an important part of self care, helps prevent burnout and compassion fatigue, and helps us recharge. Our own therapy frees us to craft a more integrated and authentic way, of being with and helping others.
I also provide case consultations for therapists wanting perspective on psychodynamic, attachment related therapeutic work.
“Becoming a therapist requires two simultaneous journeys; one outward into the professional world and the other inward, through the labyrinths of our own psyches..” ~ The Making of A Therapist by Louis Cozolino
