Abstract

Republic Act No. 10029, also known as the Philippine Psychology Act of 2009, underscores the crucial role of psychologists in supporting national development and promoting the mental health of Filipinos. This study explores the lived experiences of licensed Filipino psychologists, focusing on their encounters with multiple-role relationships, ethical challenges, and job burnout. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with five psychologists, and the data were thematically analyzed to derive key insights. The findings revealed that while psychologists strive to uphold ethical standards and navigate complex relationships, they often face emotional fatigue, more commonly reported as compassion fatigue rather than traditional job burnout. Emergent themes include Dream Job, Job Fulfillment, Mental Health Readiness, Work Ethics and Boundaries, and Dealing with Professional Challenges. This study highlights the importance of sustained self-care, professional development, and institutional support for mental health professionals. Recommendations include the implementation of structured intervention programs, such as continuous training and peer consultation, to enhance resilience and ethical competence.
