2. Continual Professional Development
- Workshops and Training: Attend workshops and training sessions that focus on innovative therapeutic techniques and approaches.

3. Mindfulness and Self-Care
- Personal Mindfulness Practice: Develop a regular mindfulness practice to stay grounded and present in your sessions.
- Self-Care Routines: Prioritize self-care to prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.
4. Client-Centered Approach
