It's like we all walk into the room with barriers right and as a therapist sitting across from another fit therapist, it just gave me permission to have yet another wall up, another barrier right.
What happens when the healer needs healing? In this episode of 'One Day I Decided', Jennifer, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and recovering addict, opens up about her life in a family familiar with addiction and recovery. Jennifer’s journey is not just about overcoming personal struggles; it’s about the profound challenges faced by those who dedicate their lives to helping others heal.
Having worked in the addiction treatment field for six years before starting her own private practice, Jennifer has seen it all. She shares her insights on the often-overlooked necessity of 'caring for the giver'. In a world that constantly demands we 'suit up and show up', Jennifer and host Omanda Patricia discuss the detrimental effects of neglecting self-care for therapists and other mental health professionals. They explore strategies to prevent burnout, emphasizing mindfulness, self-awareness, and the importance of seeking support.
Jennifer’s story is a heartfelt reminder that even those who help others need care and compassion. Whether you're a therapist, a caregiver, or someone in recovery, this episode offers valuable lessons on balancing giving and receiving support.
