This episode is a great listen for anyone looking for more stress management techniques for when things feel really tough. In this episode, the cohosts discuss what to do in a difficult week, what they are currently reading, and what “precrastinating” is, and it’s implications for SLPs at work and at home.
Sarah shares examples of her toughest week in recent memory, and both cohosts share what they do when they just need to take a mental health day (or afternoon) to take a break from whatever is stressful, work through the emotion, and get back to to problem solving after working through some emotional pieces.
