The Therapist’s Pause: Permission to Be Human
Presence is something we return to, not something we perfect.
Therapists spend their days listening, supporting and holding space for others. We care deeply about the people we work with, yet sometimes that care comes with an expectation that we should always be fully present, emotionally available and getting everything right.
Perhaps you've finished a session wondering whether you were as attuned as you wanted to be. Maybe you've felt tired, distracted or questioned whether you could have offered more.
These experiences can leave us carrying feelings of guilt or self-doubt, even when we are doing our best.
But underneath the therapist, there is still a human being.
Someone who has difficult days, who gets tired, who doesn't always have all the answers and who deserves the same kindness and understanding they offer to others.
This November, The Therapist's Pause offers a restorative online evening designed especially for counsellors, psychotherapists and helping professionals who would welcome the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and offer themselves a little more compassion.
What to expect
During our time together, Laura Jane will gently explore the pressures we can place upon ourselves as therapists, including self-doubt, the expectation to always be fully present and the importance of recognising our own humanity.
There will be opportunities for gentle reflection, followed by a deeply relaxing guided meditation created specifically for therapists, offering space to unwind, release some of what the day has held and reconnect with yourself.
The evening is intended to be calm, welcoming and supportive, with no pressure to share or participate in anything that doesn't feel comfortable. Cameras can be switched off, and you are welcome to engage in whatever way feels right for you.
No previous meditation experience is needed.
For these 90 minutes, you don't need to hold the space. You are invited simply to be in it.
Come as you are. Leave carrying a little less.
