Introduction
Hi all,
I am new here (obviously) but am looking forward to continuing my personal mental health journey and exploring the resources here! I actually work in the mental health field and often have open discussions with my patients / clients about their feelings, issues and encouraging insight and coping skills, etc; however, when it comes to myself it was not until a couple years ago that I began taking my own mental health seriously and only recently that I started regular psychotherapy. So while I have not had issues helping others discover the core of their feelings or other issues, tapping into my own feelings is an alien concept to my mind and am excited to learn from you all!
Hello @BadMannurse,
Similarly to you,
I have a mental health background - studied, worked & volunteered.
Glad to learn that you have begun Psychotherapy lately.
It is already a good start & on the right track.
If I may share a quote with you?
Carl Jung:
"Anybody whose calling it is to guide souls
should have his own soul guided first,
so that he knows what it means
to deal with the human soul."
For your reference.
May you have a fruitful journey in Psychotherapy :)
Blessed day @BadMannurse
And welcome to 7cups of tea
i sincerely hope that you find the help you’re looking for and be able to help others with your knowledge and good heart
Wish you the best💖💖💖💖
@BadMannurse So big of you to help others, but I can relate sometimes we forget about keeping ourselves alive too. I am always here to listen. I don't have a degree to give advice or tools, but I can listen.
