Do you ever get the feeling that everyone else has somehow worked it all out?
That they're more confident, more organised, more successful, and somehow managing to keep up with all the things you're convinced you should be doing?
Perhaps you've found yourself thinking:
'I should have sorted my website by now.'
'I should be posting more.'
'I should know what I'm doing by now.'
If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone.
In this episode, I'm exploring a word that fascinated me when I worked as a counsellor, and one that I still hear all the time in conversations about private practice and marketing.
It's a tiny word, but it often carries far more weight than we realise.
We'll look at what might be hiding underneath those thoughts about websites, blogs, visibility and confidence, and why so many capable counsellors end up feeling as though they're falling short.
And somewhere along the way, I'd like to ask a question that might change how you think about your private practice:
Who decided you were behind in the first place?
In this episode
- The counselling question I used to ask whenever I heard a client use a particular word
- Why private practice can become a breeding ground for unrealistic expectations
- The hidden comparison sitting underneath many marketing worries
- A simple idea that might help you see your progress more clearly
