You start imagining the things that happen to them and you start noticing that your behavior starts changing. So there are some dark days, even when you are giving that help. But that's where self-therapy or therapy comes in, where you start to learn where you put your boundaries.
Ever thought about who therapists turn to when they need help? In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Swey Jitti, a mental health speaker and author who has lived through trauma, anxiety, and depression. Swey shares her journey of overcoming these challenges to become a cognitive behavior and holistic therapist. But the conversation takes a unique twist as they dive into the concept of self-therapy for therapists.
Yes, even those who help others need help themselves. Swey opens up about the emotional toll that being a therapist can take, including moments when she found herself crying for her patients. She discusses the importance of setting boundaries to protect her own mental health while still being there for others. Holistic therapy also gets a spotlight, as Swey explains how it complements traditional methods, offering a more rounded approach to mental health care. The episode doesn't stop there.
Swey and Brendan also explore the pressing need for mental health awareness in the Middle East, especially for the youth. In regions where discussing mental health is often taboo, Swey is on a mission to create safe spaces for open dialogue. Her insights provide a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by mental health professionals and the communities they serve.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of mental health, the unseen struggles of therapists, and the power of community support.
