Therapists are humans, too.
Today is the anniversary of my grandmother‘s passing and I had a client today who has also been working through grief and life after her loved one has passed on. And I told her today that I apologized for not being at 100% because I was working through something today too. Sometimes we don’t, or can’t, show up the way that we should, whether it’s for our jobs or the people we love, especially when we are in the middle of our own emotional journey. My client was very understanding, and we still had a good session, but it was humbling for me to remember that I too, am allowed to hold my grief and to feel my feelings and to show up imperfectly, and that I can model that vulnerability for my clients.
