Therapy can sometimes look like solitary work from the outside. One room, one therapist, one client. But most of us don't really work alone.
There are supervisors, colleagues, training friends, people we met on courses years ago, and the therapists we message when we need another pair of eyes.
The longer I work as a therapist, the more I appreciate the value of those professional friendships and connections.
They support us, challenge us, encourage us, and occasionally remind us that we're not the only one wondering why a session went slightly differently from planned.
With International Day of Friendship on July 30th, it seems a good time to appreciate the people who quietly support those who support everyone else.
And to offer grateful thanks to those who support me too. What would I do without you?
