Sometimes, the exhaustion isn't just from the hours you work.
It's from how many times you have to shift who you need to be throughout the day.
Different clients need different things from you.
Different roles require different parts of you.
But carrying all of those roles, day after day, is heavy.
And while therapists are trained to hold space for others, we can forget that we need spaces to hold space for us too.
Somewhere along the way, it's easy to lose sight of the person underneath all of those hats.
So let this be your reminder that you don't have to carry everything by yourself.
You deserve places where you can take a few of those hats off, exhale, and simply be human.
Because before you're a therapist, you're a person. And that person deserves the same care, compassion, and support you so freely give to everyone else. 💛
