Guest Blog: The Power of Mutual Friendship Among Therapist Moms
Jul 16, 2024
Embracing Our Roles
We’re healers at our core. Our deepest desire is to care for others as evidenced by our roles as Mom, Therapist and Entrepreneur. Each role presenting its own challenges, but all of them together…that’s a level of complexity only a TheraMama could appreciate.
We’re constantly juggling clients’ needs with our own family's demands, all while trying to maintain a semblance of self-care.
Yet, amidst this juggling act, we find strength in an unexpected place: each other.
Who am I?
Hi! I’m MacKenzie, your Self-Care Mompanion. I’m a Therapist, Mom and Entrepreneur. Over the past couple of years I’ve been working hard to embrace who I am as a Therapist and Mom. I’ve directed my energy toward challenging some of the institutional norms of each role. Something that has helped me tremendously is finding groups of like-minded Therapist Moms to give to and get support from. These women are much like yourself.
The Unique Bond of Therapist Moms
Being a mom is a journey filled with its own unique challenges and rewards. The ups and downs we experience as Therapist Moms aren’t your every day run of the mill hassles. They’re complex. These dual roles create a unique set of experiences that only fellow Therapist Moms can truly understand.
In my own journey, I've found that the connections I've made with other Therapist Moms have been invaluable. There’s an instant acceptance, recognition and understanding that cannot be put into words. When we share our stories, there's no need to explain the nuances of our day-to-day lives – the shared experience speaks for itself. It’s in these moments of connection that we find solace, knowing we are not alone in our struggles or triumphs.
This common ground forms the foundation of our bond. Whether it’s the challenge of managing a crisis at work while dealing with a sick child at home, or the joy of seeing our children and clients thrive, we support each other through it all. The empathy and understanding, cheerleading and well-wishing that flow naturally among Therapist Moms create a nurturing environment where we can be our authentic selves.
United In Mutual Friendship
The mutual friendships that blossom among Therapist Moms are not just supportive connections; they are lifelines. The beauty of these friendships lies in their inherent acceptance. Simply by sharing space with other TheraMamas, you are welcomed into the fold with open arms. There’s an unspoken understanding that, regardless of your background or specific circumstances, you belong. This sense of instantaneous acceptance provides a haven where we can share our unique struggles, celebrate our victories, and learn from one another’s experiences.
Benefits of Mutual Friendship
The benefits of these friendships are multifaceted. Emotionally, they provide a vital support system, offering a safe space to share feelings, seek advice, and find comfort. Professionally, they foster growth through shared knowledge, resources, collaboration and encouragement. The ideas and strategies we exchange help us manage the intricate balance between our personal and professional lives, leading to better work-life harmony.
