After some time has passed we circle back up with Cecilia to reflect on our discussion of therapist anxiety and how her perceptions has changed since the conversation. She shares her insight how she now supports other clinicians with their anxiety and her continued work on her relationship with her expectations of the future.

We continue our discussion with Vidur Malik, LMFT, and Cecilia Sanchez-Cruz, LMFT on their experiences of anxiety in the therapy room. In this half, we share our processes to better manage these challenges and support one another with the ones  that remain.

What happens when the heaviest emotions in the room aren’t the client’s, but the therapist’s? In this episode we set down our notepads to share about the quiet battle therapists have with Anxiety. Through candid conversation with Vidur Malik, LMFT, and Cecilia Sanchez-Cruz, LMFT, we explore how the wholesome aspirations of helping professionals can easily become a burden on their minds as they support others through their darkest moments.  Whether you’re a fellow clinician, a client, or simply curious about what lies beneath the surface of the therapy room, this episode invites you to reconsider what it really means to hold space for others… while trying to hold yourself together.

Beginnings are always important. Whether its a job interview, a first date, or even an intake session, we all hope to leave others with an idea of who you are, what you’re about, and a spark of excitement.
