How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist

I'm just like you. I get anxiety, overthink things, and can be irrational in my thoughts and behaviors. I've learned that I sometimes I have to give myself "permission" to be human, less than perfect and flawed. This allows me to be empathetic and give permission to the next person. It can be validating to know that you are not alone in your interpersonal struggles and I assure you that you are not.
