Why following your Joy leads to a therapy practice that changes lives and pays you well
As a therapist in private practice, the more you give yourself permission focus on what you really love, and say no thank you to invitations that don’t light you up, the sooner you can build a private practice that transforms lives and pays you well.
As a highly-trained, highly-experienced clinician, you are very capable of helping almost any who knock on your door.
You're able to see quickly what the problems are, what they need, and you exactly how the modalities you use could make their life so much better.
It's almost feels bigger than you… its an urge to say YES…
But then, you look at your schedule, and you're like ‘OMG, why did I take on another client on Fridays?'
Your clinical training wired you to think first about whether you could work with a client… not whether you want to.
It's not selfish to work with clients you want to… it's responsible.
If you say yes when it's a no, you run the risk of wasting their time and yours, and possibly slowing them down on their journey.
The more you make room for the clients you know you can make a big difference for while having a good time doing it, the more satisfied with work you'll be, and the more you're allowing the divine gifts bestowed upon you to change the world.
In other words, the more you trust your inner compass that the Divine gave you (aka your joy), the more impact you can make in the world.
Of course, anyone seeking therapy deserves to have good therapy support.
But that's why you have a robust referral list and you know where to send them to get what they need when it's not a yes for you.
You were designed to experience life through your senses… your heart feeling big and warm, your belly feeling butterflies of creative energy… these are all there to signal to you what you're here to amplify for yourself and your clients. :)
Let me know if you're ready to move into a highly-profitable, 12-hour work week therapy practice that changes lives and brings you joy :)
