Compassion. Curiosity. Wellbeing.
One of the most common questions I receive,
comes from therapists seeking to revive and reconnect with the passion and purpose that first led them to journey into professional practice. They want to know,
“Can you help me recapture my passion and love being a therapist again?”
The answer is yes.
