There is anger under the exhaustion.
Not because you are cruel.
Not because you are unprofessional.
Because you are human in a system
that asks for infinite compassion
and returns very little protection.
Anger is not the opposite of care.
Anger is care that has nowhere safe to land.
This room is not here to calm you down.
It’s here to let the anger exist
without turning it into shame.
You are allowed to feel furious
and still be a good therapist.
Those things are not in conflict.
Sit with it here.
No one is grading you.
🌿
When the anger softens,
we decide what it’s pointing toward.
