Why more doctors are seeking therapy to sustain their careers and lives

Clinical psychologist Annia Raja discusses her article "Why more physicians are quietly starting therapy." Annia explains how growing numbers of physicians are turning to therapy—not because they are failing, but because they are recognizing they cannot carry the weight of medicine alone. She outlines cultural shifts that are breaking down the "invincible doctor" myth, from generational openness to the impact of the pandemic, and highlights what doctors are really seeking in therapy: depth, safety, and understanding. Annia also emphasizes why quiet participation still matters, how therapy can be an investment in career longevity, and how these changes benefit both physicians and patients. Listeners will take away insights into how therapy is reshaping medical culture and why healing the healers is essential for the future of care.
