This week Maryellen opens up about a topic close to home, burnout as a therapist. While you may not be a therapist, you may be able to relate in your own way, as burnout has become all too common in this always-on culture. She also introduces a new segment, Therapissed, all about things that rub her the wrong way as a therapist, especially when she’s burnt out! Maryellen discusses:   “Leaving work at work” isn’t as easy as it sounds   Burnout won’t go away if you ignore it   Try to anticipate when you’ll need a mental health day; look out for yourself   Vicarious trauma that comes with engaging empathetically with survivors of trauma   We need to normalize and own our burnout  Substituting yoga/gym for therapy? No!  Frustration of being caught off guard and asked to provide advice   If you haven’t already, please follow, rate, and review the podcast, and follow us on Instagram @okayishpodcast.
