The Therapist’s Exhale Experience: Reconnecting With Yourself Beyond the Roles You Carry

The Therapist’s Exhale: Reconnecting With Yourself Beyond the Roles You Carry

A free 90-minute experiential gathering for therapists and practice owners

Thursday, June 25, 2026 · 11:00 am – 12:30 pm Pacific

Online via Zoom

Somewhere beneath the clients, responsibilities, leadership decisions, and people who depend on you is a part of yourself that still longs to breathe, create, laugh, rest, and feel fully alive.

The truth is, most therapists and practice owners don’t lose themselves all at once.  It happens gradually as we become increasingly skilled at caring for everyone else.

This gathering is an invitation to pause long enough to hear yourself again, a clearer picture of what's quietly costing you, plus one practical thing to try in the next week

What to Expect

This won't look like a typical webinar. There won’t necessarily be slides, no framework being taught at you from the front of the room. We will be working with a small group of therapists and practice owners through something that's part reflection, part experience, part rest.

Over the 90 minutes, you can expect:

  • A short grounding practice which will be a few minutes to land in your body and out of whatever you were doing five minutes ago.

  • A reflection on what we see in people who hold practices, lead teams, and carry a lot, and why the usual self-care answer doesn't touch it.

  • A guided experiential process, led by Jen, that gives you a felt sense of the work rather than just a concept.

  • Time in a small breakout pair (invited, never required) to be witnessed and witness, or simply to listen.

  • A closing integration so you leave with one concrete shift to take into your week.

You'll walk away with two things: a felt sense of what it means to come back to yourself, and one practical thing you can actually use.

This is for you if

You're an established therapist or practice owner. The hardest building years are mostly behind you, and from the outside, things look good and they may even be good. But inside, something is muted, or missing, or tired in a way that a weekend off doesn't seem to touch.

If you're also running a clinic - paying staff, holding a vision, making the calls nobody else can make - there's a particular weight to that you don't always get to put down. The buck stops with you, and most days you don't even question that. You just carry it.

You've read the books. You know what you'd tell a client in your position. And still, somehow, the gap between what you know and how you're actually living has quietly widened.

This is for you if you're ready to do something about that, not with more strategies, but with something deeper. And not at the expense of the practice you've built, but rather for it.

What we'll explore together

  • Why knowing the work isn’t always enough to live it.

  •  How being ’the capable one’ can quietly disconnect us from ourselves.

  • The hidden loneliness that can accompany leadership and responsibility.

  • What it means to move from understanding congruence to experiencing it.

  • What becomes possible when we create space to hear ourselves again.

  • What it looks like to lead a practice (and a life) from a more grounded place, rather than from over-functioning, capability, or performance.

What you’ll leave with:

  • A greater awareness of the needs, longings, and wisdom that often get buried beneath responsibility.

  • A felt experience of what it means to slow down, reconnect, and lead form a more congruent place. 

  • A renewed sense of possibility for how life and work could feel moving forward.

  • A clearer picture of what's quietly costing you, plus one practical thing to try in the next week

At it’s heart, this conversation is about congruence:  the alignment between who we are, what we value, and how we actually live, lead, and work

Meet Your Instructors

Jennifer Nagel, a Satir-trained therapist, author, and educator whose work in congruence and human connection has shaped clinicians around the world.

I'm Lisa Catallo, a psychotherapist who centres on supporting women in clinical and helping professions to live and lead in ways that feel aligned, sustainable, and true to who they actually are.

Together, we're also leading Coming Home to Congruence, a small-group immersive retreat in Costa Rica next winter. This gathering on June 25 stands on its own, but for those who find something here that they'd like to go deeper with, we'll share more about the retreat later in the Fall.

By the end of this webinar…

you’ll recognize why so many therapists and practice owners lose connection with themselves beneath the roles they carry, and you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to reconnect with your own needs, wisdom, and aliveness so you can lead, live, and practice with greater congruence, clarity, and ease.
