In this episode, Jo is joined by therapist and writer Yolanda Harper.
Yolanda is a therapist based in Florida who is a specialist in trauma. It was in the process of supporting Yolanda with the writing of her first book, Soul Sabbatical, Jo realised that she needed to take a sabbatical and address her burnout, her work and her life.
In this episode, Jo and Yolanda discuss:
- the concept of vicarious trauma
- that you don’t work in the traditional field of ‘trauma’ you are likely to be dealing with clients who have experienced traumatic events,
- the difference between vicarious trauma and burnout
- the shame and stigma associated with burnout
- how Yolanda arrived at the point of realising she needed a sabbatical, and
- why a sabbatical is not a holiday.
About Yolanda Harper: While many authors know all of their lives that they want to become published, Yolanda Harper’s first book, Soul Sabbatical, started as a series of journal entries written during a burnout “meltdown” that led to her taking a sabbatical from her roles as a trauma and relationship therapist, researcher, trainer, mental health thought leader, and business owner/entrepreneur. As she shared more about her experience, she realised how much people resonate with the idea of a sabbatical, but don’t know how to step back from the demands of hustle culture to take one.
Yolanda is a warm-hearted music and nature lover who has a strong faith and likes #TrailLife. She is real; a therapist, mental health thought leader, entrepreneur, TEDx Speaker, Soul Sabbatical Doula, wife, and Mama always to her grown children – but a human first.
