Self care for caregivers with Dr Jenny Turner

Self care for caregivers with Dr Jenny TurnerWelcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. This week I am delighted to be bringing you an interview with Dr Jenny Turner. She is a clinical psychologist like me, and somebody I have the pleasure of knowing personally. Jenny's here today to talk to us about self-care and how to really nurture and look after ourselves as we do the difficult work often of being a mental health professional. This is something that Jenny is really passionate about, so she's a brilliant person to turn to if you find yourself feeling a bit buffeted by the storms that can come along with independent work as a psychologist or therapist, so I hope you're going to find this episode really supportive and restorative.Full show notes and a transcript of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyLinks:brenebrown.comLinks for Jenny:Instagram: @drjennypsychologistSunstack: mindbodysoulpsychology.substack.comWebsite: www.mindbodysoulpsychology.co.ukLinks for Rosie:Substack: substack.com/@drrosieRosie on Instagram:@rosiegilderthorp@thepregnancypsychologistThe highlightsJenny talks about what she does in her independent practice 01:30I ask Jenny how her career wound up here 09:44Jenny talks about how she was blindsided by changes around pregnancy, motherhood and perimenopause 14:44Jenny tells us about the Brene Brown shame resilience training she did 25:56I ask Jenny why she thinks therapists and psychologists are reluctant to come forward for help? 34:08Jenny talks about what she thinks good support for therapists looks like and how people can work with her to improve their self-care 45:34Jenny tells us how we can find her 53:00
