From Lawyer to Therapist: Yael Eiserike on Anxiety, Identity & Choosing a New Path
Imagine you manage to navigate the pressures and achievements of your legal career, yet feel an overwhelming sense of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
Imagine that after you set boundaries and say “no”, you see nothing bad happened. This helps you loosen the grip of perfectionism, and unlock opportunities that align with your true self.
If you’ve earned your gold stars, but happiness feels out of reach, this episode is for you.
Yael Eiserike shares how therapy and mindset work can dissolve anxiety, ease perfectionism, and open up new paths forward. Especially with:
How to treat panic attacks and insomnia using practical tools.
How small shifts, like setting a boundary or making a different choice create new possibilities and help break patterns of perfectionism and people-pleasing.
The importance of understanding your “why” in recognizing the patterns behind your behaviors.
Yael’s story and approach provide a roadmap for reclaiming your autonomy, your well-being, and your sense of purpose, in law or beyond it.
