The Emotional Weight of Private Practice | Lindsay Benson | TPOT 442

Therapists are great at taking care of everyone else, but we are not always so good at noticing what the work is doing to us.

In this episode, I'm talking with Lindsay Benson about the hidden toll private practice can take on our nervous systems. We get into therapist burnout, the stress that builds up from sitting with difficult stories all day, and the small practices that can help us reset between sessions.

Lindsay also shares her experience moving from insurance to private pay, offering therapy intensives, and building a practice that feels more sustainable. This is a great conversation for anyone who loves the work but wants to have a little more energy left when the workday is over.
