Self-Compassion for Helping Professionals: How to Keep Showing Up without Burning Out

PM WORKSHOPS AT A GLANCE

Joy Johnson, LCSW Licensed Psychotherapist, Clinical Director, & Author, Therapy with Joy, LLC

Working in this field can be incredibly rewarding. You are able to do important, life-changing work that makes a difference and aligns with your values. However, this work is also difficult and can be draining. You may feel a heavy responsibility to the safety and wellbeing of your clients and you may struggle to let yourself “off the hook”when it feels like your work doesn’t yield the ideal results. Self-compassion is the key to mitigating burnout and showing up not only in our work, but also in our personal lives, in sustainable ways. Sometimes, people in helping professions can be the biggest skeptics of self-compassion, often valuing caring for others over ourselves. But, if you’ve been in the field long enough, you likely already know how quickly that can lead to burnout and make it difficult to show up in the ways you most want both for your clients/peers and for your own loved ones.
