How addressing our childhood wounds makes us exceptional therapistsAs mental health clinicians, we must balance our personal wounds with our professional growth. It is important that we navigate the line between compassionate understanding and being overwhelmed by our own issues. By embracing our own childhood traumas, we can become more effective therapists and use our stories to help others build resilience and integrity and make meaning of their own childhoods. Join therapists and wounded healers Maureen Campion, MS LP and Alexis Anttila, MA LMFT as we explore the issues of the "self as therapist" that challenge and guide us as we work with our clients' histories. We aim to provide a safe space for you to explore the topics surrounding your complicated experiences, while also offering tools and information. Through this exploration, you will learn about the strengths and risks of coming to therapy as a wounded healer, deepen your awareness of feelings of shame, inadequacy, and countertransference, face complicated issues of boundaries, co-dependency, and self-disclosure, address ethical risks, work on asking for help and being open to feedback, question how to provide enough but not too much support and distance, build resilience to burn out and secondary traumatic stress, and reflect on the complicated feelings and fears that come up in our work life.
