Why Therapists Quit and No One Sees It Coming
From The Vicarious Trauma and Resilience Podcast · 00:17:16
Show by Dr. Jenny Hughes
When a good trauma therapist leaves, the resignation is rarely the beginning of the story. It is often the visible end of months or years of professional isolation, emotional invalidation, administrative overload, limited clinical growth, moral injury, and systems that were never designed to protect the people doing the work.This episode looks beyond burnout to the conditions that gradually make staying unsustainable, and asks a more useful question: What would change if we noticed the slow creep before a therapist reaches the last chapter? For trauma therapists and leaders alike, this is a conversation about moving beyond individual self-care and toward the systems, relationships, and infrastructure that make sustainable trauma work possible.Resources mentioned in this episodeFree Vicarious Trauma Tracker: https://www.braveproviders.com/vicarious-trauma-trackerOrganizational training & speaking: https://www.braveproviders.com/speakingThe BRAVE Trauma Therapist Collective: https://www.braveproviders.com/
