Therapy for Therapists
You work so hard to help others in their time of need. Burnout and compassion fatigue are not uncommon to experience as a therapist. As a therapist, it can also be particularly vulnerable to go to therapy due to worries of being judged or even be seen as "incompetent". Truth is, no matter what your profession is or who you are, we all need support sometimes. You seeking this kind of support for yourself is not only the best thing you can do for yourself, but also for your clients. Way to practice what you preach!

Main take-aways
What you take-away from therapy will depend on your goals. However, it's not unusual for therapists to want to work through tendencies of perfectionism, feelings of anxiety or depression, and boundary-setting. Whether that's the case for you or not, your therapist will aim to equip you with tools that can help in sustaining you and your well-being in this field.
