Burnout: The Unique Journey to Recovery Every Clinician Needs to Hear - Interview with Sarah Gilbert

This season of The Entrepreneurial Clinician Podcast has been focused on burnout and self-care. As a profession, we focus on caring for others, but what does it mean to care for ourselves? That’s the topic of conversation in this episode when Jo is joined by Sarah Gilbert. Sarah is a therapist who helps burnt-out therapists change the way they relate to the work they do.

In this conversation, Jo and Sarah discuss:

• Sarah’s experience with burnout, how she felt and the signs she noticed at both work and in her personal life
• How the mental chatter in our head often changes during times of burnout
• Prompts and techniques that Sarah uses to manage her energy
• The need to change the way you think about your work
• The importance of disrupting the sense of urgency, especially for non-urgent tasks
• The need for time boundaries in our work

About Sarah: Sarah Gilbert is a multi-faceted human who no longer simply identifies herself by the work she does. Sarah is a mom, wife, therapist, coach, bookworm, snarky friend, and Ted Lasso fan. She is located in the US, in Connecticut.  After years of non-profit agency work, Sarah started her private practice, Transitions Therapy LLC in 2014; a practice dedicated to serving transgender adults and their loved ones connect to their most authentic sense of identity. In her coaching business, Sarah helps burnt-out therapists change the way they relate to the work they do to find wholeness, restoration, and sustainability in their work.
