Self care for caregivers with Dr Jenny Turner

Welcome to the Business of Psychology podcast. This week I am delighted to be bringing you an interview with Dr Jenny Turner. She is a clinical psychologist like me, and somebody I have the pleasure of knowing personally. Jenny's here today to talk to us about self-care and how to really nurture and look after ourselves as we do the difficult work often of being a mental health professional. This is something that Jenny is really passionate about, so she's a brilliant person to turn to if you find yourself feeling a bit buffeted by the storms that can come along with independent work as a psychologist or therapist, so I hope you're going to find this episode really supportive and restorative.
