323 - The Therapists’ Toolkit for Challenging Times | Sarah Buino Live at the Revolutionary Practice Summit
"The world that we were trained for is not the world that we have now." ~Sarah Buino
What if the biggest challenge facing therapists isn't burnout… but evolution?
In this special bonus episode, Sarah shares her keynote from the inaugural Revolutionary Practice Summit, exploring why therapists must evolve—not just professionally, but personally—to meet the realities of practicing in today's world.
Drawing from trauma theory, developmental psychology, leadership research, systems thinking, and her own experience as a therapist and group practice owner, Sarah offers a compelling vision for the future of psychotherapy.
Rather than asking therapists to simply become more resilient, she invites us to expand our capacity for complexity, uncertainty, and collective care.
In this keynote, Sarah explores:
Why therapists must do their own work
The hidden cost of pathological empathy
Why self-care alone isn't enough
Organizational trauma and unhealthy workplace cultures
Vertical development and therapist maturity
The "meta-crisis" shaping mental health today
Power, leadership, and the future of psychotherapy
Why healing must happen at the individual, organizational, and systemic levels
Whether you're a therapist, supervisor, practice owner, social worker, or graduate student, this keynote is an invitation to imagine what our profession could become—and the role each of us plays in creating it.
