Join us this week as Noura shares her experience of unexpectedly going into labor and the challenges she faced in managing her private practice and clients during her maternity leave. She discusses the lack of closure and feelings of abandonment that arose from not being able to communicate with her clients during her hospital stay. Noura also reflects on the impact of this experience on her decision to start her own private practice. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and compassion for therapists in similar situations and highlights the benefits in having our network of peers for support.
