151: Creating Space for Self-Reflection ...

SLP Now
About this episode

In this episode of the SLP Now Podcast, Laura and Marisha discuss the importance of self-reflection in practicing self-care and self-kindness.

Self-reflection involves taking a moment to go inward and think about our thoughts, feelings, and actions. By being mindful and reflective, we can better understand our own learning processes and improve our problem-solving abilities, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.

While self-reflection has many benefits, it can be challenging to face truths we’d sometimes rather avoid and be objective about our own behavior. It's important to remember that self-reflection is a practice, and we don't have to be perfect. Building in small moments of self-reflection throughout our day, such as through journaling, can be helpful in developing this skill.

Ultimately, self-reflection allows us to show up for ourselves and others in a more intentional and compassionate way, leading to greater job satisfaction as an SLP — and — less burnout.

In the episode, Marisha and Laura talk about:

  • The benefits of self-reflection
  • What self-reflection looks like in the moment
  • The power of creating space for yourself
  • Building pockets of reflection into your day
  • Embracing self-reflection and growth as a lifelong journey
