Why Most Therapists Burn Out

Burnout is one of the biggest hidden struggles therapists and healers face—yet no one really talks about it until it’s too late. If you've ever felt exhausted, emotionally drained, or even questioned whether you can keep doing this work, you're not alone. But burnout isn’t just a byproduct of working in the mental health field—it’s a sign that something deeper needs to change.

In this episode, we break down the real reasons why most therapists burn out, including: ✅ The hidden trauma response that keeps therapists stuck in exhaustion ✅ Why the rescuer role leads to emotional depletion and prevents client healing ✅ How to shift from over-identifying with clients to becoming a powerful Healing Artist ✅ The key boundaries every therapist MUST set to sustain a thriving practice ✅ Simple yet effective strategies to protect your energy while doing deep, meaningful work

Burnout is NOT a requirement for being a great therapist. There is a better way. Tune in now to learn how to prevent it and reclaim your passion for healing.
