11: Balancing the Hats We Wear: Business Owner & Therapist

During this episode we go into talking about therapist mind and business mind.  In graduate school we mostly hear about going into community mental health work and private practice is the “when you’re close to retirement” phase of your career. It doesn’t have to be that way, today we take a look at how to balance our CEO status and our therapist selves. Today’s points: Deciding policies that are in integrity with the way you run your business and who you are as a therapist. Boundaries and how to balance clinical and business aspects. How being too passive can harm ourselves, our business, our clinical skill and clients. Owning your CEO status. Policies we can’t control in agency work versus implementing your own policies when running your business. The pressure of thinking about our livelihoods and offering flexibility to others. Balancing the hats of private practice. Identifying typical characteristics of a CEO and therapist.
