After the Hour

Brie Hawk

Every session ends the same way: the client leaves, the door closes, and the therapist is left with everything that just happened. Nobody talks about that part. After the Hour is a podcast about building a life in this work. Not the theory, the career: the sustainability, the business, the strangeness of being someone’s most trusted confidant for fifty minutes, then picking up your dry cleaning. Each episode goes deep with a therapist at a different stage, from decades-in veterans to those surviving their first years. Proof you’re not alone, and that the work is worth it for the long haul.
