I was thinking about this today, and would love some kind of feedback from practicing therapists. How do you avoid burnout?

Pick a door:

  1. They get their own therapist
  2. They don't avoid feelings of burnout
  3. They apply their practice to themselves
  4. They leave their sessions at the door
  5. Alcohol

Feel free to pick multiple doors, live your best.
