The Secret to Therapist Longevity? Stop Putting Everything Into Your Work
Jazzmyn just crossed into a new season: fully licensed, supervision behind her, and discovering something that shouldn't be surprising but is—her life has gotten exponentially better the moment she stopped trying to fit her entire identity into her work as a therapist. This solo episode is real, unfiltered reflection on what happens after licensure, why so many therapists burn out before they even get there, and the permission slip everyone in the profession needs to hear. The conversation covers the invisible cost of the internship and associate years—the survival mode that becomes normalized, the pressure to prove yourself constantly, the way therapists try to embody every single one of their values through their work alone. It touches on reclaiming the parts of yourself that grad school put on pause: friendships, volunteering, spirituality, creativity, just being human . Jazzmyn shares a vulnerable moment about reconnecting with a friend from a Christian camp where she was closeted, and how being invited back to serve—this time as her full self—became a healing full circle. She talks about how having a life outside work actually makes her a better therapist, how the pressure to perform dissolved the moment supervision ended, and how having capacity for fun changes everything.
