How do you find the time to take care of yourself when your career is all about taking care of others? As mental health professionals, we take on the enormous task of taking care of others’ emotional needs, placing ourselves at greater risk of vicarious trauma, burnout, and compassion fatigue. I'm Dr. Marsha, a Licensed Psychologist, and mental health expert. Join me as I connect with fellow mental health professionals about the challenges of managing one's own mental health and self-care while juggling high-stress roles at work and home.
