The Therapist’s Therapist: Holding Space for Your Professional Colleagues
Presented by Dr. Christine N. Williams, PhD, LCPC, DBT-C, CCTP II, EMDR, CMNCS
This 2-hour webinar is a restorative, truth telling experience designed for the clinicians who spend their lives holding everyone else. This webinar creates a rare space where therapists can exhale, reconnect with their clinical identity, and be witnessed as a human being without judgment or being performative.
Through psychoeducation, validation, and honest conversation about the realities of our field, participants learn how to hold space for other therapists, adapt to their reality, strengthen their professional community, and reclaim the humanity behind the role. It’s an invitation to step out of survival mode, remember why you started this work, and leave with renewed clarity, confidence, and connection.
