Supporting Therapy Clients After the U.S. Election [Video]

This is the minimally edited, podcast-style version of my video "Supporting Therapy Clients After the U.S. Election" You can catch the shorter and snappier version of the video here: https://youtu.be/2wJpwv-2GYY The election is affecting all of us in different ways, and I was curious to ask how supporting our clients during the election has affected us uniquely. In this episode, I share your responses to three questions I asked on Instagram: 1. What’s been the hardest part of supporting your therapy clients post-election? 2. What’s been the most positive part about supporting your therapy clients post-election? 3. How has it affected you to support your therapy clients while doing your own processing? I know it's been a roller coaster ride for many of us. However you might be experiencing this time, I hope you are taking care of yourself. LINKS *Some links are affiliate links.
