ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We interned together for a year—side by side, learning how to sit with stories we’d never heard before, practicing sand tray on each other, and quietly wondering if we were actually cut out for this work.
Now, we work with different populations—adolescents on one side, adults and couples on the other. We’re in different seasons of life, years apart in age, yet shaped by the same training year that asked us to grow faster than we expected.
In this conversation, we talk honestly about imposter syndrome, the things grad school doesn’t teach you about being a therapist, and the ongoing challenge of finding balance while holding space for others. This episode is for interns, early-career clinicians, and anyone curious about what becoming a therapist really looks like—behind the theory, beyond the textbooks.
Still learning. Still becoming. Just sitting in different chairs.
