Therapist burnout is a complex issue that requires more than just sabbaticals or vacations to address. Both systemic problems in the mental health field and our internal psychological patterns contribute to burnout, requiring dedicated inner work alongside traditional self-care practices.
• Systemic issues contributing to burnout include low pay, high client loads, decreasing insurance reimbursements, and commodification of mental health services
• BIPOC and marginalized therapists face additional "representation tax" as role models and advocates for their communities
• Through an Internal Family Systems lens, several internal "parts" often contribute to therapist burnout
• True healing comes from building relationships with these parts rather than trying to change or exile them
• Operating from "Self-energy" allows therapists to witness suffering without absorbing it and balance their needs with clients'
