Care for Providers

Gerald and Niesha reconnect on Therapy is Life to talk about essential self-care for providers and how burnout can build when you’re constantly caring for others. Niesha, a licensed professional clinical counselor and author, shares why provider self-care looks different from typical self-care and highlights the importance of daily check-ins, rest, and realistic routines that fit into a busy workday. They touch on noticing early signs of burnout, setting healthier boundaries, and giving yourself permission to prioritize your wellbeing without guilt. 00:00 Morning Time Welcome 02:18 Meet Niesha Again 03:35 Books and Writing Journey 04:50 Women and Permission to Rest 07:25 Provider Self Care Basics 08:42 Micro Breaks Between Sessions 10:31 When Self Care Slips 11:48 Burnout Warning Signs 13:10 Sleep as Recovery 13:43 Spotting Burnout Signs 14:06 Self Reflection Check In 14:47 Selfish vs Selfless Balance 15:25 DBT Boundaries in Practice 16:15 Ebook Chapters Breakdown 18:42 Getting the Ebook 19:02 Daily Self Care Habits 19:35 Morning Squat Sunlight Trick 21:03 No Time Phone Challenge 22:52 Wrap Up and Subscribe Learn more about your ad choices.
