JUly: Meeting this moment without sacrificing ourselves

FRIDAY, JULY 11, 2025 | 930-11AM | VIA ZOOM

REGISTRATION REQUIRED!

How do we meet this moment — politically, emotionally, and professionally — without losing ourselves in the process?

This month’s Rogue Therapist Collective is a space to examine how we stay present and responsive to a world on fire and clients facing pain and suffering, without defaulting to the overwork, burnout, or self-abandonment that erodes our bodies and our bodies of work.

Therapists are often positioned as helpers, containers, and first responders to crisis, but many of us are struggling to hold it all together behind the scenes. From climate anxiety and political unrest to institutional pressures, collective grief, and personal exhaustion, we’ll explore what it means to be human and a clinician in times of ongoing crisis.

Together, we’ll explore:

The difference between urgency and self-sacrifice
What sustainability can look like in politicized healing work
How to hold space for others without hollowing ourselves out
Collective strategies for staying resourced, present, and principled

This session is for anyone who’s feeling stretched thin, caught between care and collapse, and wondering how to stay connected to and resourced by the therapy we came here to do.

The mental health field is changing — and not always for the better.

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.

The RTC Mission:

The Rogue Therapist Collective is a collaborative, peer-to-peer, community-in-formation of mental health workers committed to practicing with integrity, justice, and creativity in a field and world shaped by systemic harm.

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.

Monthly Meeting Format

Each salon will include:

Opening Circle (10–15 minutes): Grounding, community agreements, introductions.
Creative Conversation (30–40 minutes): A rotating discussion topic each month (e.g., ethics under capitalism, collective care models, transformative approaches to mental health).
Skill-Building or Resource Exchange (20 minutes): Sharing strategies, tools, actions, and mutual aid.
Closing & Action Steps (10–15 minutes): Invitations for collaboration, advocacy, or personal/community reflection.

Optional: Social Hangout (after formal close) for folks who want to keep connecting informally.

I'm in!

THE RTC VISION:

We envision a mental health field rooted in collective care, political accountability, and liberation — where therapists are no longer isolated, overextended, or forced to choose between ethical integrity and professional survival.
