It is widely acknowledged that being a therapist is both fulfilling and demanding. However, without proper self-care, we may find ourselves susceptible to burnout. Often, we prioritize the well-being of others and overlook our own. Additionally, we may underestimate the impact our clients have on us. This is a chance to not only gain knowledge but also prioritize self-nurturing.
