Three Reasons Why Helping Professionals Seek Therapy

Helping professionals are people who serve their community by providing support or education in their professional work. They are therapists, nurses, teachers, doctors, attorneys, police officers, EMS, firemen and women, and healers. Their work is to assist others which often comes with exposure to potentially traumatic events, long work hours, and feeling helpless. Helpers may neglect their needs in order to continue providing support to others.
