122: Becoming Him: Freedom, Burnout, and the Gator Life with Dr. Jason Branch
Manage episode 522990857 series 3560010
In this episode of A Simple Therapy Podcast, Sindee Gozansky welcomes Dr. Jason Branch—therapist, educator, podcaster, and self-proclaimed Gator—for a conversation about burnout, authenticity, and becoming the best version of yourself. Dr. Branch shares his raw journey through severe burnout as a new clinician and how an unexpected detour into bartending school helped him evolve into "Him."
Together, Sindee and Jason explore the beliefs that keep us stuck, the power of doing something different, uncomfortable, and new (DUN), and why most of us are walking around as Salamanders when we could be living as Gators. Jason breaks down his three parallels framework, the four P's of Salamander life versus the five C's of Gator life, and why therapists desperately need their own therapists.
This conversation is full of bold frameworks, concrete examples, and permission to stop apologizing for being you. Jason's energy and wisdom remind us that healing requires becoming comfortable being uncomfortable, listening to your future self's whisper, and celebrating every single day.
