Therapist burnout. Compassion fatigue. Emotional exhaustion. These aren’t buzzwords—they’re the reality for mental health professionals, coaches, and helpers drowning quietly while everyone assumes they’re fine.
Dr. Carmy Aristor, PhD, LCPC, LMHC, LPC—licensed psychotherapist, trauma-informed clinician, founder of Destined Horizons multi-state group practice, and creator of Helping the Healers—is here to tell the truth most helping professionals never say out loud: You can save lives, hold space, show up for everyone else, and still collapse under the weight of your own trauma.
Dr. Carmy learned this as a single mom running ten sessions a day, building her practice from scratch with no networks. Burnout became her “best friend.” She crashed after every workday while two young kids needed her. She rebuilt everything and now leads Destined Horizons serving clients across Georgia, New York, New Jersey, and Maryland. She supervises clinical teams, trains future clinicians, and teaches the Helping Healers Burnout Recovery Framework.
In this conversation:
✅ Why empathy without boundaries is self-destruction
✅ The burnout crisis grad school doesn’t teach
✅ How unresolved trauma shows up in sessions
✅ The 4 A’s: Awareness, Acknowledgement, Alignment, Action
✅ Energy audits: What drains vs. sustains you
✅ Creating a wellness plan you’ll follow
✅ Why being “the strong one” is a trauma response
This is for therapists, counselors, coaches, social workers, caregivers—anyone who’s been the emotional first responder and forgot their own oxygen mask.
