“I generally lie this podcast but there was one lately that rubbed me the wrong way. The hosts were discussing the importance of self-care for therapists and literally all examples that were given were targeted to therapists that are either childless right now or have support/ childcare cause I am a single parent without childcare support right now and I’m still working from home. There was nothing provided that could possibly work for me and I‘m not that out of the norm. So maybe acknowledging that being able to engage in self-care the way that was suggested is necessary AND a luxury/ privilege that not everyone has right now or never. Maybe broaden your examples to be more inclusive of people who are not in that same position in life.
Update: uhm the episode on white ppl where to start. Oh my god, talking to a WHITE person to learn about racism? You really couldn’t think of anyone more qualified? And oooh the big bad word White privilege? Come on, it’s not scary. I can’t stand this. Thought I’d give this another try but no way. Listen to BLACK therapists y‘all.”
