In 2016 I graduated from the Master's Program and was expected to be a pro and have answers to all the problems people would bring to me. You can only guess - it was impossible. I felt like drowning, unprepared and at times as a phony. At times I was not certain why clients kept coming to see me. Many times I felt like I was losing steam and doubting myself and my abilities.
On the other hand, I was hungry for knowledge, growth, and transformational results. That is when I started to join various communities of therapists which carried unique perspectives, practiced different schools of therapy and carried life long wisdom. I found the collaborative spirit to be thrilling and inspiring. I would return to my office energized and regenerated after such meetings. It confirmed that the richest learning experiences come from breaking down silos and reaching beyond my comfort zone and collaborating with the brilliant minds around me: counsellors from Canadian Professional Counsellors Association, coaches from Robbins-Madanes Training, supervision by the well known legend Cloe Madanes - pioneer of solution focused therapy, guidance and training within the innovating community of Feeling Good Institute founded by the pioneer of the cognitive behavioural therapy honourable Dr. David Burns, just to name a few.
Now, considering the turbulent times we live in today, the stress, the ongoing crisis, the burnout, I am eager to revive this stimulating experience and share my passion with other therapists, mental health professionals and coaches by offering some incredible resources that keep saving my day.
