I have posted a few different videos touching on burnout as a therapist. This time I’m taking a little bit of a different angle. My prior videos about burnout have focused more on acute burnout - you’re overworked, you feel you have little control over your schedule or your workload, or maybe you’re experiencing some secondary trauma. All of those are super important to address.

But beyond acute burnout, I’m noticing more and more that therapists are burning out on the profession altogether. As in, questioning whether they want to practice clinical therapy work at all.

In this video, I share some reflections on what I think may be contributing to this degree of therapist burnout and offer a few thoughts on alternative approaches to make our therapy work ore sustainable across our careers.
