7: Becoming a Therapist, and Learning from Therapy

I've received a number of questions related to becoming a therapist, what it's like to sit with people, what I've learned from my graduate program, and whether I'd recommend it to other people. Today I'm exploring those questions through the lens of my own experience training to become a somatic psychotherapist.

On this podcast we'll be bringing together the best lessons from psychology with holistic approaches to mental health and healing. By bridging the gap between mental health and spirituality, we can find new opportunities to heal from trauma, live in loving relationship, and reduce our suffering. Specific focuses include complex PTSD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and finding a personal practice that works for you. My name's Elizabeth Ferreira, and I'm a somatic psychotherapist in training currently earning hours toward my license. My approach is holistic, non-judgmental, and centered in the belief that all beings have the capacity to heal, grow, and reduce suffering.
