Feeling isolated socially
I’m almost three years post grad school and I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a therapist since then but I feel like a lot of what has helped me become a better therapist is my commitment to my own healing and my own therapy and all that. that’s all fine and good but sometimes it’s hard to turn that part of my brain off especially because I just genuinely enjoy thinking about that stuff and patterns of relating to self and others and thinking about emotions and attachment and all that. it definitely takes a toll when I inundate myself with it though and I notice it affects how I show up as a friend. I feel like I’m super conscious and aware of trying not to go all therapist on my non therapist friends but sometimes it just happens and i worry that it gets annoying. it starts to feel isolating and sometimes I just don’t even want to be social because im not in fun zone but then I just end up isolating and self reflecting which I dont think is very healthy either LOL ..how have y’all dealt with that?
