Mentorship can be a launchpad for discovery
I have been a Psychotherapist in private practice for 8 years. Before this, I had previous careers in education, international development and humanitarian aid work. In these prior careers, I taught and designed powerful mentorship programs and trained teachers to become successful mentors. I was also fortunate enough to have had my own experiences both as mentor and mentee. These experiences were profound and invaluable.
As a mentor, my mindset, awareness, experience and compassion were important for what happened in the mentoring relationship. It gave me an understanding of how ongoing learning and support can feed both persons' personal and professional development positively. As a mentor now, I draw from my extensive teaching and mentoring experiences. My mentorship journeys provided me with learning, support and guidance at the time but pushed the boundaries beyond that. I felt empowered me with the confidence, clarity and direction in my professional choices. In fact, choosing to become a Psychotherapist in the first place came from a mentorship experience.
Working with a good fitting mentor at any stage of the therapist journey can be a transformative and cathartic experience. If you are open to it, the right mentoring experience can help you navigate the often challenging and complicated terrain as a therapist. It can also help you to let go of the fear and scarcity beliefs that are limiting you. In turn, the new space allows balance, energy, growth and fulfillment to emerge and expand.
