Therapists are trained to prioritize the well-being of others, yet we often struggle to extend the same level of care to ourselves. Rooted in temperament, life experience, extensive training, and professional culture, we are inherently other-oriented and may neglect self-care, risking burnout and identity erosion—where an overemphasis on professional identity comes at the cost of a fuller, more expansive sense of self. In this chapter, I explore personal therapy as a means of self-care, reflecting on my own journey and pivotal moments that challenged my early assumptions about what it means to be a “good” psychologist. Drawing from empirical research and findings from the Australian Psychologist’s Personal Therapy Survey (APPTS), I examine the stigma that can deter therapists from seeking therapy, often tied to fears of perceived inadequacy. While personal therapy is an established norm in some therapeutic orientations, such as in psychoanalytic communities, it remains a contentious and underexplored topic within professional psychology. I argue that engaging in personal therapy fosters resilience, deepens self-awareness, and sustains professional longevity. To truly care for others, we must first care for ourselves—therapy provides one powerful avenue to do so.
