Becoming the Therapist

Becoming the Therapist isn’t supervision, a training module, or another skills checklist. It’s a self-paced, 21-day email journaling series for early-career therapists, psychologists, and counsellors — designed to help you reconnect with your therapeutic presence, not your performance. Across 21 Mondays, you’ll explore emotional regulation, congruence, and the quiet split between who you are and who you think you “should” be in the therapy room. Every Monday arrives as a guided reflection in your inbox — gentle, research-rooted, and deeply human.Created by psychologists who’ve lived these questions, Becoming the Therapist offers an honest mirror to help you sustain empathy without losing yourself.

Because you can’t pour from a regulated nervous system you don’t have.

We built Becoming the Therapist after years of watching brilliant new clinicians lose themselves to empathy.The job asks for presence, but the world rewards performance.Between case notes, supervision hours, and client crises, it’s easy to forget the very person behind the work — you.This series isn’t here to teach you how to “show up better.” It’s here to help you feel more like yourself when you do.Each reflection offers a pause — a moment to meet your own patterns with compassion before stepping back into the room You don’t have to prove you care.You just have to remember you do.
1What's inside
  • 21 guided daily reflection emails
  • Research-based frameworks (Rogers, IFS, Polyvagal)
  • Optional journaling and integration exercises
  • Self-assessment prompts on burnout and congruence
  • Closing reflection letter for long-term integration
2How to use

Once you sign up, your first reflection lands in your inbox the next Monday morning.

From there, you’ll receive one email every Monday — each built to take no more than 15 minutes.

You can respond in your journal, your notes app, or even by replying to yourself in the thread.

There’s no homework, no supervision — only space to notice, process, and return to your own rhythm.

3Why it works

Therapists spend years learning frameworks — but few spaces invite us to meet the self that shows up in the room.

This series is grounded in Carl Rogers’ concept of congruence, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and emotional regulation research, helping you reconnect to the inner therapist who listens, feels, and reflects with authenticity.

It’s built from the lived realities of early-career clinicians: emotional overextension, imposter moments, and the quiet burnout that often follows empathy.

Each day’s reflection blends therapeutic psychology with practical insight, bridging the theory we teach with the humanity we hold.

Behind the design

Why we build tools for feelings (not just vibes).

Becoming the Therapist started as a quiet experiment — a handful of emails we wrote for early-career psychologists who came to us after sessions, asking, “How do I stop feeling split between being the therapist and being myself?” Over time, those emails evolved into a 21-day guided reflection. We built it because we saw the same pattern across supervision and burnout circles — therapists fluent in theory but estranged from their own presence. We wanted to create a soft landing space to pause, regulate, and realign. This isn’t about learning new techniques. It’s about remembering that congruence is your most powerful skill. If you find yourself needing that reminder — we made this for you.
