## Resource

We’re therapists—and humans. In this episode of Deciphering Growth, we drop the polished scripts and share the exact self-care we use when life (and clinical work) gets heavy. From odd little joys (automation video games, planted shrimp tanks) to parasympathetic resets (Epsom-salt baths, stretching, visual grounding, the Serenity Prayer), we show how we downshift our nervous systems without perfection or guilt. You’ll hear: Micro-habits that stick on busy days (no 2-hour routines). A “skill points” self-care reframe—level up one point at a time. Introvert-friendly strategies for crowds, schedule changes, and “I’m running late” spikes. Why therapists need permission to be human—and how we protect against burnout.
