Jess and Ryan sit down to share the advice they wish someone had given them when they first stepped into psychotherapy training. They talk about how becoming a therapist quietly reshapes your personal relationships, the moments of identity shift no one warns you about, and how to actually get the most out of expensive, exhausting training programs. They also get real about burnout - how to spot it early, how to protect your energy, and what they wish they’d done differently in their first few years. This episode is part pep talk, part reality check, and fully the kind of conversation new therapists deserve to hear ✨Hosted by: Dr Ryan Bittinger (they/them) and Dr Jess Erb (she/her)Cover art by: Una Grace Norona (she/her)Produced and edited by: Denise Danda (she/her)Follow us on Instagram: @yourtherapistisnotokay
