Burnout, Moral Injury, and Sustainable Recovery for Therapists

In this episode, we explore why burnout for therapists often reflects ethical strain, cumulative trauma exposure, and nervous system overload rather than simple fatigue.

Reflection & Journaling Exercises for Clinicians

If you want a deeper dive into moral injury and burnout, take some time and reflect on the following:

Values:

• Where in my work lately have I felt that something is off?

• Which value feels most challenged: dignity, safety, fairness, integrity, access to care?

Somatic Awareness

• When during my workday does my body feel most activated?

• What small reset could I realistically do between sessions?
