One of my new favorite things to do!
I am a first year school counselor. I have told multiple people close to me that I never knew what I signed up for in this position until I started it. Being a school counselor, you are so important to these students and staff members and that comes with a lot of pressure. I love this field of work for so many reasons and love all of the connections I’ve made in this first year, but I am completely mentally and emotionally drained every day when I go home. Listening to your podcast for the first time a couple weeks ago gave me a sense of validation that I have been missing in my life since before I began in the school months ago. I am a counselor of 380 students and I find myself helping as much and fast as I can, trying to do more and more, but never feeling caught up or like I can breath. Hearing that others feel the same has helped me so much because I thought I was alone in this. I’ve taken pointers from your self compassion podcast and have tried implementing those strategies, as well as finding more time for what I need. I contacted a colleague and now have a weekly scheduled time to discuss whatever we wish in a safe space together regarding our jobs. Thanks so much! I plan to continue to listen to your podcast during my lunch breaks and during my car rides to decompress.

I wish this podcast had been around when I became a school counselor over 10 years ago. While I loved my grad program, there is so much you can’t possibly learn until you’re in it. This podcast is helpful to veterans and newbies alike. I appreciate the honest & practical advice. I look...Read full review »
