DETRIMENTAL EFFECTS OF BEING IN A PROFESSIONAL ROLE
  • You may be so accustomed to maintaining a professional persona that you have difficulty letting it go and being yourself. You may even be uncertain about who, or what you really are, outside of your professional role.
  • You may have been working hard at your job for many years, but find yourself wondering if that’s all there is to life, or wondering if you can ever actually meet your personal goals for success.
  • You may have devoted so much of yourself to your work for so long, you feel drained and “burnt out,” and question your desire to continue.
  • You feel so concerned about the people who depend on you for your services that you may have a hard time feeling that your own needs are important, or doing what you know you should do to take care of yourself.
If you find yourself facing any of these feelings, you don’t need to feel hopeless about resolving them. I’m familiar with these difficulties that professionals face, and I can offer you guidance for getting through them.
