Clinicians and Helping Professionals
Even as a dedicated professional, you share the same mental, emotional, and relationship struggles as anyone else. Working in a helping profession also brings unique challenges, often involving bearing witness to trauma and suffering, which can weigh heavily on you. You might struggle with feelings of regret or the sense of "not doing or being enough."
Driven by a desire to help others, it can be common to put everyone’s needs above your own, including friends, kids, and partners. It’s important for you to remember you are a person with your own needs, desires, and vulnerabilities.
Let’s consider:
-
Do you have fears, doubts, or reservations about asking for help?
-
Is it challenging for you to feel seen and heard?
-
Which areas of your life would you like to give more attention to?
-
How do you show up in your closest personal relationships?
-
Do you often take work home with you, on a mental, emotional, or physical level?
As a professional in the helping field, you bring invaluable knowledge, skills, and insight to your work. Yet, making time for yourself and applying these tools to your own well-being can be a unique challenge.
