You’re an early career clinician, just learning the ropes. You loved your study, the rich philosophy of the work, but when the work begins, you struggle in ways you didn’t expect to. The work affects you emotionally. But here's the thing. Your colleagues don’t seem to be having the same reactions (at least as far as you can tell). Feedback from clients and colleagues tells you you’re good at your job. But you can’t help wondering, am I just too sensitive for this work? My guest this week is Deanna, an early career social worker with her own lived experience (and fellow Big Feels At Work listener!) finding resourceful ways to navigate the work as a sensitive soul. Topics covered: -- Self-disclosure - can clinicians self-disclose to clients? -- What’s the difference between being a peer worker, and a clinician who happens to have lived experience? -- Wondering if you’re just ‘too sensitive’ for the work (and what you do with that) -- Doubting yourself even when you're doing good work -- How Deanna cultivated a handful of other clinicians who ‘get’ what it’s like to work in this field and have big feels of your own Host: Graham Panther.
