THERAPY FOR WOMEN
Are you a licensed therapist, social worker, or mental health clinician who feels exhausted, burnt out, or like you’re never enough despite all your hard work?
You’re allowed to be supported, too.
As a helping professional, you are used to supporting others. You’re expected to be compassionate, competent, and composed at all times. But constantly managing your clients’ needs, professional expectations, and your own internal pressures can take a toll.
Even experienced therapists often struggle with perfectionism, people-pleasing, imposter syndrome, and chronic burnout. You may feel like you’re not doing enough, fear making mistakes, or push yourself harder than anyone else expects.
The Hidden Cost Of Perfectionism In Therapy Work
High-achieving therapists often internalize messages like:
“I should be able to handle everything without help”
“I need to be perfect for my clients”
“Saying no or needing support makes me weak”
Over time, these beliefs contribute to:
Emotional exhaustion and burnout
Difficulty maintaining boundaries with clients and colleagues
Persistent self-doubt or imposter syndrome
Chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation
Your drive to help others can come at the cost of your own well-being if unaddressed.
