Recorded during Mental Health Awareness Month, this episode of Inside the Session features Drs. Jason Branch and Cheryl Fisher in conversation with MACC colleague Dr. Kristen Curry, a longtime community mental health practitioner, counselor educator, and Alliant alumna. Drawing from nearly two decades of experience, Dr. Curry candidly explores the realities of burnout, compassion fatigue, and working within increasingly strained mental health systems. Together, the trio unpacks the myth of the counselor as savior, the importance of therapists seeking therapy themselves, and the necessity of building sustainable self-care practices that go beyond buzzwords. The discussion also addresses the impact of funding cuts, the rise of AI as a substitute for therapy, cultural humility in clinical work, and how counselor educators can better prepare students for the emotional demands of the profession. Ultimately, the episode reframes counseling as an act of holding space rather than carrying clients’ burdens, reminding listeners that effective helping begins with caring for ourselves.
