Your Therapist Needs Therapy 85 - A Grounding Conversation with Lilly Risch
This week Jeremy is joined by returning guest Lilly Risch to talk about navigating tumultuous political and social climates while maintaining personal and professional balance. They discuss the challenges of managing emotional energy as therapists and the importance of building community, staying grounded, and advocating for shared values like social justice and inclusivity. The episode emphasizes the role of therapy as inherently political and provides actionable insights for fostering resilience through self-care, community connection, and boundary-setting.
