Welcome to the debut episode of "From Both Sides of the Couch" with Dr. Laurie Bruce, a clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach. In this episode, Dr. Bruce shares her personal journey of taking a medical leave to focus on self-healing, highlighting the importance of self-care for caregivers and therapists alike.

Dr. Bruce explores the challenges many face in prioritizing their own well-being, touching on core beliefs, lack of self-care skills, and environmental factors that hinder self-care practices. She offers insights from her 25 years of experience, both as a therapist and a client, and emphasizes the significance of building resilience, reducing burnout, and practicing self-compassion.

Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own core beliefs and to explore personal self-care routines that bring peace and joy. Dr. Bruce invites her audience to join her in this journey of self-discovery and healing, reminding us all of our inherent worth and capacity for change.

Mindfulness and Mental Health Tips for Women: From Both Sides Of The Couch

I am Dr. Laurie Bruce, a clinical psychologist and mindfulness coach. For the last 25 years, I have had the privilege of providing psychotherapy, consultation and supervision to thousands of clients and students.

My greatest form of self-care is to engage in my own personal therapy. I have had the privilege of working with some gifted therapists over the years. My investment in my own therapy has been the single most important gift I have given myself and it helps me to be the best therapist, mother and friend that I can be.

If you are someone who is constantly striving to be the best version of yourself, then come join me. If you, like me, tend to be driven, perfectionistic and self-critical, then this is the show for you. I am here to share wisdom that I have learned over the last two and a half decades from my clients, my supervisors and my own therapists. Join me for discussions on mindfulness, self-compassion, resilience, authenticity, vulnerability, healthy relationships and so much more.
