Integrity While In Burnout: Unmasking as Neurodivergent Clinicians
Video version
Episode Notes
Our guest in Episodes 6 & 7 is Fenn Priest, aka the Trauma Witch.
How do we maintain our integrity when we are in burnout? For neurodivergent clinicians, therapists and counselors who are autistic, have ADHD, PTSD, C-PTSD, or chronic illness, ethical unmasking becomes necessary. In Episodes 6 & 7 we speak with Fenn Priest, aka the Trauma Witch. Fenn shares her experience with burnout, being late diagnosed autistic, and using somatic journaling to create a community that nurtures the nervous systems of its members.
