Jenny Brackman, the Therapist Coach

Why Coaching?

Hi! My name is Jenny Brackman.

I specialize in helping therapists move from surviving to thriving, because helping doesn’t have to hurt.

People enter the helping professions with a fervor and a fire to change lives, but the painful process of bearing witness to traumas day in and day out brings a mental, physical, relational and spiritual toll, often uncovering past wounds.

The demands of clinical work often leads to the belief: I don’t have time to deal with this.

Some of my clients have expressed these shame-laden fears:

• I can help others, but why can’t I help myself?

• no one can find out how much I’m struggling

• I need help, but I'm tired of the medical model; I don't want a diagnosis

• This could come back to my supervisor, or worse, my state’s licensing board

These fears take a great deal of energy to suppress and, as a result, their careers are floundering.

My clients are overjoyed to realize that coaching brings them a degree of anonymity they can’t experience through traditional therapy.

How did I start coaching therapists? Well, in the words of Bob Ross, it was a happy little accident. I found my own experience with secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue helped me to connect with them. I just had a knack for it, and soon I found I tapped into a  need.
