OCTOBER: Witness Fatigue
This 90-minute, community-centered call will help you:
🔸 Understand witness fatigue — what it is, how it’s different from burnout, and why it matters.
🔸 Map your own signs and cycles so you can recognize when you’re approaching overload.
🔸 Practice simple, nervous-system-based tools to release what you’re carrying between sessions and at the end of the workday.
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2025 | 930-11AM | VIA ZOOM
REGISTRATION REQUIRED!
Witness fatigue is the emotional erosion that comes from repeatedly holding space and being a witness to another person’s pain and suffering. While we are trained to absorb and release difficult experiences to a degree, no one prepared us for being a therapist in the 2020s.
This month’s Rogue Therapist Collective is a place to pause, name what’s happening, and learn ways to metabolize the impact of your work so you can keep showing up with presence, compassion, and steadiness.
Where are the disconnects between what you care about and how you work, and how do you close those gaps?
WHAT IS RTC?
The RTC Mission:
THE RTC VISION:
WHO THIS IS FOR:
As therapists committed to justice, care, and community, we know the traditional models aren't enough.
The Rogue Therapist Collective is a monthly gathering space for clinicians who are ready to challenge the status quo, imagine new futures, and advocate for real change in our field.
This is not simply another networking event or clinical training.
It’s a space for critical dialogue, mutual support, political engagement, and visionary thinking — among therapists who refuse to "stay in their lane."
Whether you're grappling with burnout, questioning the ethics of our systems, wanting to build alternatives, or simply craving solidarity — you are welcome here.
Please note: Although this event is virtual, registration will be capped and won't be recorded.
REGISTRATION REQUIRED.
We gather to confront the ethical contradictions of our work, support one another in political and professional reflexivity, and imagine liberatory approaches to care.
Through monthly meet-ups, collective care, and critical dialogue, we’re building a space where therapists don’t have to choose between their work and their well-being, and where therapy is able to truly be a healing practice.
The Rogue Therapist Collective exists to cultivate a brave, connected community of practitioners who resist harmful systems, reimagine the role of therapy, and work together toward more just and sustainable models of care.
Those committed to liberation, justice, and systemic change
Practitioners who feel disillusioned with the status quo — and ready to build something better
Please note this space assumes a shared commitment to anti-oppression values.
(We are not a debate club about human rights.)
