Hi Alicia! I'm a therapist working with high-acuity clients in a co-occurring residential treatment program. I've been feeling very burnt out for a few months now, but I don't know what to do to alleviate that feeling. I've tried changing my work schedule to shorter days, taking a bit of time off, and setting boundaries. But I feel incredibly guilty that I am not able to give my best to my clients because of how exhausted I am. Any tips?

Hi Lisa! I'm a beginning therapist (LPCC, just graduated grad school last year) and I'm starting at a long-term substance use rehab tomorrow, levels 3.5 and 3.7. Do you have any tips for a beginning substance use therapist?
