What is the biggest mistake a therapist can make?– I think the biggest mistake a therapist can make is staying stuck in old ways/habits. It’s important to continue learning and educating yourself to make sure that you are staying up to date in order to provide the best therapy.
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?– The best advice that I’ve been given is “spend time doing the things you love”. I think it’s important to remind yourself to do activities you enjoy, especially when it can feel like there are a million other things you ‘should’ be doing. It’s important to use your free time to enjoy yourself.
