Therapy for College-Aged Folks
Life after high school can be super overwhelming. Whether you are going away to college, hitting the working world head-first, living alone or with roommates for the first time, or continuing to live at home, it can be an exciting and freeing, but also stressful, time for most of us.
You might be struggling with…
academic and or job demands leading you to feel like you’re ‘not good enough’
balancing academics/work with having a healthy social life
social anxiety, making friends, finding ‘your people,’ or experiencing community
seeking, inviting, and maintaining healthy romantic relationships
finding structure, developing routine, or ‘adulting’
financial independence and pressures
family relationships and boundaries
the impact of stressful childhood experiences or trauma
anxiety or lack of direction about your romantic, social, or professional life after graduating
If so, know you don’t have to go it alone. Pain and stress are a part of life, but suffering is a choice. We can try and get away with doing things completely solo, but life is always way easier with some help! We can never get too much support, especially when we’re hurting the most.
And that’s all therapy is: Extra Support.
Therapy for Emerging Helping Professionals
Vicarious Trauma, Compassion Fatigue, & Burnout.
Are you a psych, social work, counseling, nursing, pre-med/med, or education major, recent grad, or grad student?
Working in a human services, helping, or social justice related field?
Feeling triggered and overwhelmed by situations you come across in your studies, internships, research, or work?
Struggling to set boundaries with work? Maybe it’s taking a tole on your relationships, your personality, your energy level?
Vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout are real, if not inevitable, for most helping professionals, especially at the beginning of your career. Bearing witness to the suffering of others is a suffering in of itself. There’s a unique and intense type of emotional stress that comes from giving to others for a living. Furthermore, many of us are ‘wounded healers,’ who come to this work, either consciously or subconsciously, in part, due to our own adverse life experiences. So things can get intense for us.
This a really common struggle and ‘rite of passage’ for most helping professionals. Know that the work you do in the world is important, but so are you. And the good news is that it’s totally possible to do really good work for a cause you are passionate about while also taking care of yourself and being a whole person with a full life.
But what does that really mean? Or look like?
If you haven’t figured that out yet, that’s ok. Reach out and we can explore how you can begin to show yourself the same kind of compassion you show the people and communities you serve.
