Just as physical fitness requires regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and rest, psychological fitness demands ongoing self-reflection, emotional regulation, and self-care.  Therefore, I remain vigilant when it comes to my personal needs, ensuring they do not interfere with my therapeutic work.  Just as this image reflects the community, support, and teamwork needed to be successful on the field, so does the self-care, self-awareness, and well-being in the field of mental health produce a great therapist.
