Trust & Thrive
Welcome to Trust & Thrive! My name is Tara Montazeri and I'm an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. Through insightful and vulnerable discussions, I hope to inspire my listeners to trust the process of their unique journey and thrive as their most authentic self. I aim to encourage these actions with a conscious, practical, and attainable approach to self-reflection and community care. I often feature individuals from a multitude of professional fields, levels of expertise, and life experiences who generously share their stories and invaluable knowledge to my listeners and me. My guests and I touch on topics related to mental health, relationships, systemic issues, generational wounds, and other topics that influence us in our everyday lives. I hope these conversations encourage us to approach our journey of self-awareness in a thoughtful, mindful and compassionate way.

299: Being a Therapist While Navigating My Own Mental Health
In this solo episode, I share my experience starting out as a therapist a few years ago, including memories of my very first session during internship, the feelings of anxiety, and the pressure I felt to “have it all together.” I talk about my own mental health struggles, and how I've worked through feelings of shame around this...now viewing them as part of what makes me the therapist I am.
I open vulnerably about what it means to me to be therapist and a human in the room, and how our struggles can shape the way we show up with others.
Almost to the 300th episode!!
