Bron is joined by Tiffany, a licensed psychotherapist based in Switzerland, to chat about the emotional realities of starting out in therapy and what it’s like working in mental health on the other side of the world.

They chat about:
👉🏽 Why personal therapy helped Tiffany become a better clinician
👉🏻 Feeling like you’re “drowning and swimming at the same time” when starting therapy work
👉 How comparison and perfectionism can fuel early-career self-doubt
👉🏼 The differences between Australian and Swiss mental health systems

Guest: Tiffany Kanani Limacher, Licensed Psychotherapist
