As an attorney turned psychotherapist, Chelsy Castro is uniquely positioned to address the mental health challenges of the legal profession. Ms. Castro begins by addressing those aspects of the profession that were exacerbated by the pandemic and then provides concrete strategies for a mental and emotional reset. Ms. Castro hears from her attorney-clients regularly, “I just don’t know how to feel calm.” In this course, she provides concrete strategies for using the individual factors that make good lawyers – perfectionism, competitiveness, and analytical ability – to serve clients effectively, to work collegially, and to manage the daily transition from our work lives to being present for our home lives.
