Dr Melanie Young is a licensed psychologist with a private practice in Boulder, Colorado. Melanie is a senior Brainspotting (BSP) trainer, consultant and certified Brainspotting therapist. She assists individuals and couples with relationships, losses, and grief. Melanie helps navigate the challenges around brain injuries, ADD, pain, illness, and phobias. Specialties also include working with seniors, their families, and caregivers. She uses BSP as a tool to help heal trauma, increase effective coping strategies, strengthen internal resources, and enhance performance.
This wonderful episode takes the listener behind the scenes of what it's like to be a therapist/healer. Melanie calls upon her wealth of personal experience as a Licenced Psychologist, as well as from those of a plethora of healers to explore the levels of protection that they utilise in working with so much pain and trauma. We hear about how the healer can experience a range of symptoms that can result in burn-out, or compassion fatigue, compromising their ability to thrive, work and be there for their people. Whether you are supporting others in a formal psychiatric setting, a health institution or in the community, this episode provides insightful thoughts and practical ideas to be able to develop your own range of rituals and ceremonies to stay well in a demanding environment. Let the healers be healed.
