Therapy is a powerful tool for enhancing self awareness and understanding. Sometimes we can be unaware of our own desires and motivations, our wants and needs, and talking to a professional can help us gain valuable insights. We all know that leadership and coaching can be incredibly fulfilling, but it can also be challenging. It can lead to compassion fatigue and moments where we feel overwhelmed trying to help so many people to the best of our ability. When you're constantly giving yourself to others, it's easy to forget you also need to take care of your own needs. Luckily BetterHelp is here to help.\xa0 Go to betterhelp.com/aoc today.
