Helping professionals, including students, counselors, and counselor educators, often pour into others while neglecting their own needs. Serving in multiple roles can enhance the lives of clients. However, without consistent self-investment, it can also lead to increased stress, depression, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Over time, the lack of boundaries and self-care may negatively impact both personal health and professional relationships.

This engaging and metaphor-rich Podcourse offers a systematic approach to developing self-awareness, self-confidence, and sustainable self-care practices. Dr. Jason Branch shares practical tools and powerful insights drawn from his own experience with burnout. His relatable and transformative framework empowers participants to take better care of themselves.

Participants will explore The Gator Life Model, which introduces a mindset shift that helps clinicians move from emotional overexposure to protected, empowered living. They will also learn the ESPM self-care model (Emotional, Spiritual, Physical, and Mental), which provides an actionable strategy for maintaining daily balance.

Through this Podcourse, clinicians will gain greater clarity on their current boundaries, learn how to make intentional self-care deposits, and walk away with tools they can apply immediately to both their professional and personal lives.
