This episode, I welcome back Meghan Goode, a fellow therapist and survivor, to discuss the intricate overlap between professional lives and personal traumas as therapists. We explore the concept of the 'wounded healer' and emphasize the importance of continuous self-care and therapy for professionals exposed to trauma. Meghan shares her journey, highlighting how her own traumatic experiences fueled her career shift, and her approach to EMDR and DBT therapy. We also discuss the challenges of vicarious trauma, the power of genuine therapist-client connections, and the impactful ripple effects of survivor stories.
