This was such a great video. I'm still in my program and have been learning ways to take care of myself before I become a licensed therapist.

I was very enthusiastic when I started. I was passionate to help. But very quickly I learned that it has to come from the client. If they aren’t entirely engaged with their healing then no amount of me being enthusiastic will help. I think the more seasoned therapists have taken a step back and have no emotional attachment to their clients outcome. It can be hard when we care about people though. Thank you for this video. 😊

Yup I’m actually considering quitting as we speak… …the way people are forced to work for low pay as they attempt to build practices after years of training it’s unbelievable!
