Episode #758: Your Practice Is "Successful"… So Why Does It Feel So Flat?

from Abundant Practice Podcast

In today's Ask Abundance, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Rebecca A. E. Smith, Ph.D., and we're talking about something a lot of therapists quietly wrestle with after they've "made it" in private practice: what happens when the practice is working… but you're not excited anymore. We get into the weird grief of realizing the thing you worked so hard to build no longer feels like the dream, why burnout is often less about your job and more about a life that's gotten too small, and how to start reimagining your practice without blowing everything up overnight. We also talk about the pressure therapists put on themselves to stay passionate forever, the freedom that can come from letting therapy become the easy part of your life, and why sometimes the next version of your practice starts by getting out into the world and remembering you're allowed to have fun again.
