From Guilt to Wellness: Redefining Effective School Counseling

School for School Counselors Podcast

Feeling overwhelmed as a school counselor? Ever get the feeling that no matter how much you've accomplished, it's never enough? I get it! (I've been there, too.)
In this episode, I talk about the taboo issue of productivity guilt, a common- yet unaddressed- concern that affects lots of hardworking educators like us. I explain just what productivity guilt is and why we often feel this way, paying particular attention to heavy caseloads, high expectations, and the ceaseless demands of our roles.
School counselors, it's time for a change where we redefine productivity and prioritize our wellbeing. Let's talk about how to combat productivity guilt, how to hold boundaries, and how to gain confidence in our capabilities to feel fulfilled in our work each day.
Despite what your current role may want you to believe, taking a break or cultivating think-time in your day doesn't mean you're weak or lazy; it's an essential part of being a successful school counselor. Join me as we tackle productivity guilt once and for all.
