042 When your client's suffering feels like your failure

Even when you win the case, part of you still counts what it cost your client emotionally.From your first year of practice, you were trained to anticipate harm and prevent bad outcomes before they happen. That training teaches something else too, something no one ever states directly: if a client suffers, you didn't do a good enough job. So when your client goes through discovery, a hearing that doesn't go your way, or even a win that still creates suffering, the same belief fires. Their negative emotions become evidence you failed.This episode names that belief precisely, and asks whether it was ever true.Want to understand what's driving the patterns in your own practice?Book a private 20-minute call at heathermillscoaching.com/call.
