Looking for Your Own Therapy?
When therapists do their own therapy, it supports personal healing and growth, and can be a valuable resource in traveling your own life path. It also makes you a better therapist by increasing awareness of your own core beliefs, relational patterns, and blind spots; it lets you see how they might play out in your work. These benefits are especially true when you offer somatic therapy.
As a therapist, you already understand how therapy works and you know a great deal about what does and doesn’t work for you. You want support form someone who values your self-awareness, your wisdom, and your willingness to engage in doing your own personal work.
It can be important for therapists to do their own therapy with someone who is a seasoned professional and who can work in a deeply collaborative way.
