Why You Don't Have to Choose Between Being a Great Therapist, Making Money and Being a Whole Human [Ep 170]

from The Bad Therapist Show

Three years in, I've finally rebranded The Bad Therapist Show! For so many therapists, "good therapist conditioning" tells us we have to choose. We can be ethical or profitable. Dedicated or well-rested. Great clinicians or savvy business owners. I don't believe that's true and working with 100+ therapists has proven it.In this episode, I'm sharing why I believe becoming a better business owner can make you a better therapist, why having a full life outside your practice matters, and why challenging these myths has become the mission behind everything I do.You'll hear about the studio shoot where I literally wheeled my motorcycle onto set, the five concepts we wrestled with before landing on this one and the three personas you see in the new artwork. They aren't three different people. They're all parts of the same therapist: the therapist who's genuinely great at her job and cares deeply about her clients, the confident CEO, and a real human with a full life outside of work.They're all me—and my hope is that when you see them, you see yourself too. Because I truly believe you can be an incredible therapist, build a profitable business, and create a life you genuinely love. Press play and meet the version of yourself good therapist conditioning told you to hide.Topics covered on Good Therapist Conditioning:The deeper meaning behind The Bad Therapist Show rebrandGood therapist conditioning teaches you that caring about money or having a life outside work makes you a worse therapistCaring about money can make you a stronger clinician rather than a less ethical oneYou get to be a skilled therapist, a confident business owner, and a full person all at once, instead of shrinking to fit good therapist conditioningConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessWhat Your Therapist Thinks, the second podcast I co-host with Kristie Plantinga: https://www.youtube.com/@WhatYourTherapistThinksQuote:"You don't have to choose.
