Setting Goals for Us Therapists, Not Just Our Clients | E47

Therapists, let’s get real—when was the last time you focused on YOUR goals? In this episode of Love, Happiness, and Success for Therapists, I’m turning the spotlight on you. We’ll dive into the transformative power of therapist goal-setting—not just for your practice, but for designing a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and truly aligned with your values. Here’s the deal: If you’ve been putting everyone else’s needs first (sound familiar?), it’s time to check in with yourself. Together, we’ll walk through a simple process to reflect on where you are, where you want to go, and how to actually make it happen. Plus, I’ll share practical tips for avoiding burnout and reigniting your passion for the work you love. 💡 Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Focusing on Therapist Goals 01:27 - The Importance of Self-Care for Therapists 03:30 - Personal and Professional Inventory 04:56 - Emotional and Physical Well-being 07:49 - Continued Development and Support Systems 13:01 - Quality of Life and Work-Life Balance 14:45 - Professional Growth and Specialization 33:11 - Setting and Achieving Specific Goals 37:27 - Conclusion and Resources If you’re ready to grow in your career, check out my Therapists’ Guide to Coaching 2-Part Training.
