Programs for therapists
Support for therapists with lived experience in the mental health field
Therapists with lived experience of mental health issues, trauma, neurodivergence, and more, often feel isolated in the work that they do. It is often stigmatized for a therapist to admit that they’re struggling with their mental health too. The support that I offer involves empowerment and allowing you to see your struggles as strength. Not to negate the struggle, but to truly reframe lived experience as a tool by which your work gets better. We cover issues like burnout prevention and management, emotion regulation and boundaries, stigma, professional identity, and more. The support that I offer is truly psychoeducational and allows for greater awareness and empowerment, leaving you more equipped to succeed in the mental health field. As a therapist with lived experience myself, I know what it feels like to feel like others have an advantage in managing in this field and preventing burnout. These programs were tailor made for therapists like us to gain support from each other and learn from each other.
Programs I offer
Individual program for therapists with lived experience
A 2-day program, 3 hours each day, to gain awareness of your own patterns and needs. We cover issues of professional identity and self-disclosure, learn how to unlearn stigma - societal and self-stigma - and bring awareness to early signs of emotion dysregulation. We also work on the concept of boundaries - with self and others - and understand your patterns of early burnout to help prevent it, and also strategies to manage burnout once it’s present.
This program is an intensive session for therapists who want more individualized, personalized support. The focus will be on you - your patterns, your needs, early signs of dysregulation. There are grounding exercises and mindfulness involved, and there will be some expressive arts and poetry involved as well.
Cost is 12,000 rs for the two day program.
Date: Flexible depending on my and your availability
Group program for therapists with lived experience
A 6-week closed group program, running for two hours each session, with 4-8 therapists. This is a group version of the individual program. We cover issues of professional identity and self-disclosure, learn how to unlearn stigma - societal and self-stigma - and bring awareness to early signs of emotion dysregulation. We also work on the concept of boundaries - with self and others - and understand your patterns of early burnout to help prevent it, and also strategies to manage burnout once it’s present.
The group format really allows for deep healing, gaining support from each other, and learning regulation tools within a community setting. There are grounding exercises and mindfulness involved, as well as some poetry and expressive arts.
