A Silent Struggle in Our Field

Hi Reader,

I listened to this podcast episode the other day, and thought it was worth a share.

Did you know a career in massage has the 4th leading suicide rate among professions?!

Episode Insights & What It Means for Us

A Silent Struggle in Our Field
Core issues of isolation, emotional exhaustion, and the guilt therapists commonly feel when devotion to their work isn't enough to sustain them were central to the conversation.
Being a Healer Is Hard... For Real
The episode shed light on how the identity of being a “healer” can be a heavy burden. Especially when it leads to burnout due to unspoken pressures and insufficient boundaries.
We Need Real Community
Without genuine support systems, setting and keeping healthy boundaries becomes a steep climb. One therapist’s passion shouldn't come at the cost of their well-being.
