Why therapists are facing burnout

Описание: Please take a moment to comment or SHARE if you agree 💕I could stand on my soapbox for 3000 unpaid hours and rant about this 😂….There is not a single therapist I know who didn’t enter this field because they wanted to help people 🌟People become a therapists because they want to help and serve others. However helping and serving others does not mean that we deserve to be paid unfairly 👍The system purposely gaslights therapists. It tells us to take on massive student loans, to work for 3000 unpaid or low paid hours, and then to buy into the belief that we are bad people if we want to be paid a fair wage. Please notice that we don’t tell these things to doctors, lawyers, dentists, or sports coaches. All of these professions are also rooted in helping people. Please understand that I am not saying that therapy should be inaccessible. I believe therapy should be accessible for all people regardless of socioeconomic status. However, I also believe that it is up to insurance companies and government agencies to provide affordable, and clinically excellent care for all people. Rather than calling out insurance companies and the government for not providing adequate mental health care services or reimbursement we have asked therapists to work for less than they deserve or see clients for less than they can afford. Often we ask clients with the most need to see clinicians with the least training. Before you consider accusing a therapist of having a rate that is too high you might also consider writing a letter to your insurance company and asking them to explain why therapists are often the lowest paid healthcare workers on their panels. Therapists, you deserve to be fairly compensated. #LCSW #Counselor #lmft #LMFT #lifecoach #privatepractice #smallbusiness #therapy #therapistsofinstagram #LPC #therapistsofinstgram #counselorsofinstagram #psychologist #counselorsofig #mftofinstagram #therapist #counselorshelp #coachlife #TherapistsConnect #psychologistsofinstagram #cbt #MFT #clinicalpsychologist #psychotherapy #therapistsofig #therapyisfun #clinicalpsychology #counselor #therapistlife #psychotherapist
