When you were little, did you want to "do good" in the world? Chances are, you're now an active (or aspiring) helping professional. That's awesome. The downside? Common experiences and mindsets among helping professionals* often lead to burnout, compassion fatigue, and other issues. In short, we can "lose the spark."
Our vision is a world where helping professionals routinely "keep the spark," sustaining greater health, grounded confidence, and a growing community across the street and around the world.
*Helping professional = anyone who supports the physical, mental, or spiritual wellbeing of others, ie counselors, teachers, healthcare workers, clergy, first responders, military, volunteers, and others.
YOU: an aspiring or practicing helping professional: including any folks interested in exploring healing at the "source" such as attachment and "bottom up" trait-change therapies with lasting results.
ME: I'm Teresa, founder and LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR Approved Consultant and Clinical Supervisor) in Portland, Oregon. I directly support mental health professionals through EMDR consultation, training, and clinical supervision.
WHAT: Burnout sucks. Hope and healing should be possible for everyone, period. We are growing this space to encourage and connect our broader community through trainings, content and products, all designed to make a big impact with very little time. I don't want to see one more human dropping out of a meaningful role due to burnout and stress. If you support the physical, emotional, or spiritual wellbeing of others, here's your wake up call: we need you to be your best you. Moreover, you deserve to be your best you! As you explore this space, stay curious about taking "one next step" toward greater health, grounded confidence, and a growing community in the season ahead.
