About this listen

Ever feel like you’re “bad” at therapy—fumbling through EMDR, forgetting your manual, or replaying every word after a tough session? You’re not alone. In this episode of The Gritty Therapist, Stefanie Armstrong and Cathy Schweitzer share real stories of learning new trauma-informed tools, bombing sessions, and still showing up anyway.

We talk about why being bad is actually good—because grit and confidence only come from practicing in the mess. You’ll hear about our early EMDR fails, writing court letters that made us cringe, and the growth that came from sticking with it.

If you’re a trauma-trained or attachment-focused therapist who struggles with burnout, session insecurity, or nervous system overload, this episode will remind you: you can’t skip the grit.
