Dear Tired Counselor: You’re Allowed to Rest From Being Tired

In this episode of Counselor Chat, I’m sharing a summer permission slip for counselors who may be on break but still feel completely worn out.

Being away from school does not automatically mean your mind and body have caught up after a demanding year. This episode is a reminder that you do not need to turn July into another to-do list, school improvement plan, or race to get ahead for August.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why being on break does not always mean feeling rested
• Letting go of the pressure to be productive all summer
• Trusting that your work mattered, even when you cannot see every outcome
• Releasing unfinished things from the school year
• Three gentle reflection questions for a summer reset

Takeaway:

• You do not have to earn rest by being exhausted enough. You are allowed to let summer be summer.
