What do you need to flourish?

at the risk of holding a mirror up too close,
one common schema therapists have is that of self sacrifice.
We know how it goes...
-just one more client squeezed in on an 'urgent' call
-nights spent researching the best treatment
-after the clients go, hours spent formulating and writing notes
And the irony, of course is that it is these people,
these wonderful therapists who are the ones at risk of burn out
It is not because you 'don't have boundaries' or "you're too soft"
It is not because you have a fear of failure or a s"carcity mindset".
No.
(Those critical thoughts need a therapist too... )
It is because you care.
And you see yourself positively, as privileged, strong,
capable and kind.. (which very likely you are, all these and more)
so you let your own needs (for rest and time out) start to slide a little.
And its all ok until your light starts to dim a little
Maybe your spark is gone for things that used to light you up
Or you find yourself inexplicably anxious, for no reason.
The offering for support is not a road map for boundaries.
It is not an insult to your skill, professionalism and dedication.
Its not a self care bubble bath and facial recipe situation.
Its a peek into the parts that mean to help
but neglect your needs, it's a chance to meet yourself in that mirror and
love again who you see. A chance to wake up refreshed.
