According to a poll I posted on Instagram, most therapists feel at least a moderate amount of pressure to have "breakthroughs" with their clients in therapy.It's common for us to talk about breakthroughs in therapy. In today's episode, I dive into questions like:-What is a breakthrough?-How much pressure is there to have breakthroughs in therapy?-Where does that pressure come from?-How important is it for therapists to focus on breakthroughs in therapy?Let me know if you know of available research or literature tracking the degree that breakthroughs are correlated with progress towards client goals in therapy.

You're frantically preparing for client sessions again, convinced you need the perfect protocol and flawless notes to be "ready." I get it—so many dietitians tell me they feel unprepared, like they need everything mapped out perfectly before they can show up confidently for their clients. But here's what I know after working with hundreds of nutrition professionals: you're already more prepared than you think. That feeling of "I need to have it all figured out" is actually keeping you from accessing your greatest asset, your inner wisdom and professional intuition. What if I told you that your best client sessions might happen when you trust yourself enough to let go of the script and tap into what you already know? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE In this raw, unscripted episode, I'm sharing why trusting your inner wisdom as a dietitian changes everything, from how you show up with clients to how fulfilled you feel in your career. This is for experienced nutrition professionals who are tired of over-preparing and ready to step into the confidence that comes from trusting their expertise. Here's the breakdown: Why over-preparing for client sessions might be holding you back from your best work How to distinguish between evidence-based practice and trusting your professional intuition (spoiler: you need both) The connection between teaching intuitive eating and trusting your career intuition Why seeing yourself as a healer, not just a nutrition expert, transforms your entire practice How the nutrition profession is evolving and why your unique gifts matter more than ever What it means to honor your inner wisdom in your career decisions Why business as usual won't work in 2025 and beyond RESOURCES & LINKS Related Episodes: Episode 229: Becoming a Visionary Episode 168: Your Inner Glass Ceiling CONNECT & TAKE ACTION Find Christine: Email: christine@manipuracentre.co Podcast: Make More Money as a Dietitian on Apple Podcasts | Spotify Community: Join 1200+ dietitians in The Make More Money as a Dietitian Community Instagram: @money.mindset.dietitian Website: manipuracentre.co Your Next Steps: Step 1: Trust Yourself This Week Choose one client interaction where you'll trust your expertise instead of over-preparing. Notice what happens when you show up from confidence rather than fear. Step 2: Honor Your Inner Wisdom Ask yourself: What has my intuition been telling me about my career that I've been afraid to act on? Write it down. Don't judge it. Just acknowledge it.

I used to stress, hard, about preparing for my therapy sessions. I thought I needed to brush up on any and all relevant information related to my clients' experiences and presenting issues, and I also felt the pressure that every session needed to one-up the last session's "ah-hah" moment.With time, I've built a routine that makes session prep a breeze. My current structure allows me not to sweat it anymore, while feeling prepared to support my clients.In today's episode, I share how I prepare for therapy sessions, in case some of my tips and tricks could be useful for you too.Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

"I genuinely believe there is a lot of information to gain from all of our episodes deliver, but for the summer, I've handpicked a few that offer intriguing ideas and a unique perspective for physicians in 2025," says David. "I hope you enjoy this Season encore series. Have a great summer!" Episode 3.11 | Originally Released: February 9, 2023 In this episode, plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Bartlett joins David to discuss his career, academic and private practice, financial decisions and more. Richard begins with his background—where he grew up, what got him interested in medicine and surgery in particular—and his lack of interest in finances as he went through medical and surgical training. Richard explains the process for choosing his first job, including the benefit of learning to “balance the books” even in an academic setting. He and David then cover his 15 years as an academic surgeon, what he learned financially in creating a plastics foundation from scratch, as well as his decision to create a private practice and the value of “being a good citizen” in making that transition easier. Richard then spends a few minutes relating the types of financial advice he gives to fellows at Harvard and the advice he would give to all doctors.

Today we are celebrating a psychiatrist who opened a private practice and paid off her student loans only a few years out of residency. She said she is very debt averse and poured every dollar she could to crushing the loans. Not only did she tackle her loans but she also opened a private practice at the same time. She wanted to provide the highest quality of care for her patience and believed private practice was the best way to do that. She also wanted the freedom and flexibility that comes from working for herself. Opening a private practice was scary but she never doubted her decision and has been super successful.

But there's a growing number of clients specifically seeking in-person therapy experiences. So I'm sharing my own journey with telehealth and why having a physical office space might be worth considering - even if it's just for one day a week. From the unexpected marketing advantage of Google Business Profiles to the benefits of work-home separation, I'll break down the pros and cons without sugarcoating the realities.Whether you're committed to your virtual practice or feeling the pull to return to an office setting, this episode offers a no-nonsense look at what might work best for your private practice and lifestyle.Topics covered on Do You Really Need to Have an Office to Succeed in Private Practice:Telehealth therapy transformation during the pandemicBreaking down how a Google Business Profile can dramatically increase your private practice's visibility for freeMy personal experiences with office rental arrangements and subletting strategies that can reduce overhead costsHow therapists can position in-person sessions as premium services with higher pricingTesting the waters before fully committing to a physical officeResources from this episode:Google My BusinessWhy Therapist Reviews Are Better Than Paid Ads - Your $0 Client Attraction Plan [Episode 123]Connect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyQuote:"Having an office can boost your visibility, help you serve a wider range of clients, and create new business opportunities, but it's not a requirement for success." - Felicia

Join me, Tammy Roche, for another Episode of Social Worker in Private Practice. Not just for social workers anymore—this podcast dives into the work, the life, and the deeper questions in between. In this episode, I'm getting honest about something that's shaped a big part of my journey: being busy. For a long time, being busy wasn't just a habit; it was my coping mechanism, my distraction, my way of avoiding the hard stuff underneath. We live in a culture that praises hustle and productivity, but at what cost? I'm unpacking how I came to see that “busy” was my drug of choice and what it looked like to step away from that cycle. If you've ever tied your worth to your to-do list or felt uneasy in the quiet moments, this episode might resonate. You're not alone, and there's another way to be. P.S. – This October, I'll be participating in the 2025 Shitbox Rally—a movement-based fundraiser raising money for Cancer Council. It's a cause that's deeply meaningful to me, and I'd love for you to check it out. You can learn more and support my journey at tammyroche.com/giving-2025-1.
Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you an attorney looking for advice on how to structure your law firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Tyson interviews Jeff Holman, an attorney and entrepreneur. Jeff shares his journey from engineering to law and business, detailing his transition from private practice to in-house counsel and ultimately creating a fractional legal team model. Jeff shares how to set expectations for clients about the legal team model. Some clients are used to working with an attorney who will be with them from intake to the conclusion of all affairs. A legal team model involves collaboration with different individuals within a firm, which can involve other lawyers working on a case. Jeff emphasizes the need to provide clear communication with clients who might not be used to this model so they know what kind of support they are receiving.With AI growing within many firms, Jeff and Tyson provide insights on how AI affects client interactions. Research shows that AI integration might lead to firms hiring less attorneys since there are tools that can do a lot of the work for you. For Jeff, the use of AI is a great tool, but won't be useful for certain aspects. For example, if the right questions aren't being asked, AI can help with this. It can also help replace a first year associate that might be too green to work in a specific legal environment.

Passive income has been super trendy for a while. And especially as a therapist, it's wonderful to have some of my income not be tied to an hour with a therapy client. It's really freed me up to enjoy working with a part-time caseload, and relieved the pressure to get more clients during slower periods.Naturally, lots of therapists are drawn to this idea. But, there is more to passive income than meets the eye. Today, I share some of the tools and "real talk" about passive income that I don't often hear folks talk about. And I offer some tools to help overcome the common emotional hurdles that keep folks from building the business they dream about.Thank you to Paubox for sponsoring this episode.

Alexis Taitel, a commercial litigator and fourth-year associate at a large firm, spent her first two years after law school clerking in federal district court. She explains what a federal clerkship really involves and how that experience helped her launch a litigation career in private practice. Alexis offers a window into her work on breach of contract cases as a mid-level associate, from pre-litigation strategy and writing compelling motions to learning how to advocate effectively from behind the scenes. She shares her love for legal writing and research, comparing research to a scavenger hunt and writing to storytelling. Alexis also reflects on the steep learning curve and pressures of the billable hour, the mentorship she's received, and how the reality of being a lawyer differs from what she once imagined. Alexis is a graduate of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, William S. Boyd School of Law.This episode is hosted by Kyle McEntee.Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about Rutgers LawLearn more about Vermont LawAccess LawHub today!Learn more about Rutgers Law
Do what you love, and you won't work a day in your life? Close, but not quite! Niching down and working within your passion and ideal client group will still take effort and work, but it can be easier than staying a generalist, especially if you are dreaming about working more intentionally with the groups of people you care the most about helping. In today's episode, I speak with Liv (they/them) about niching down, starting a private practice, and running workshops, all of which they started in an effort to reshape their life around their needs, dreams, and desires. So, it's maybe not about not working at all, but about doing the work that feels right for you! MEET LIV Liv (they/them) is a registered social worker who works primarily with queer, neurodivergent and disabled folks who have experienced trauma. They are guided by anti-oppressive, strength-based, trauma-informed care and use methods such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to get to the root of what you are struggling with. They offer services to individuals and partners, youths and adults, virtually across Ontario and in-person in Cornwall. Learn more about Liv on their Psychology Today profile and bookings page. In this episode: Why Liv became a social worker Starting a private practice Partnering with aligned organizations Niching down to boost success Advice for listeners Why Liv became a social worker From Liv's personal experience, as well as seeing people struggle with mental health, they felt drawn to becoming a Registered Social Worker to help people go through life a little more easily. Additionally, Liv works primarily with queer, neurodivergent, and disabled folks because they have these life experiences too. Starting a private practice After Liv's extensive experience working in the public sector, they started to consider opening up a Canadian private practice. This was partially due to burnout, a need to structure work around their health more, and simply a desire for something new in their career. Starting a private practice allowed Liv to create the life that they wanted to live. One that was professionally structured around their personal needs, and that supported a happier, healthier, freer lifestyle with less stress and more flexibility. After working in the public sector, Liv worked in another group practice, but after a few months, they started their own private practice, which is what Liv is doing now. Partnering with aligned organizations Liv's private practice is going well! Now that they're able to work more freely, Liv can build the practice from the ground up in close alignment with their values. Also, Liv has started to partner with organizations where they see drop-in clients. Liv explains that they know things take time, so they are making professional moves to increase clients, market the practice, and collaborate with like-minded organizations while slowly growing the solo practice each month. Niching down to boost success To stand out and connect with their ideal clients, Liv has made a big effort to niche down. Niching down in private practice is not only a great business strategy for success, but also a method for you to really integrate your work with your passion. Liv has also begun participating in workshops to expand their client base and strengthen their professional network. Advice for listeners Things take time! Be patient, especially in the first few months of private practice. Don't let impostor syndrome get you down, since sometimes you will need to put in lots of effort before you see a return on it. So, be patient, keep going, and work with your passion!

Ever feel like you're stuck between a full caseload and a full calendar of doctor's appointments - for your parents? You're not alone. In this episode of The Practice of Therapy Podcast, Marissa Wells joins Gordon to talk about what it really looks like to juggle private practice while caring for aging family members. She's not here to preach “perfect balance”—because let's face it, that doesn't exist. Instead, Marissa shares her wisdom on finding harmony, navigating proactive grief, setting real boundaries, and reconnecting with joy in the midst of it all. Whether you're a therapist, a caregiver, or somewhere in between, this conversation will speak to your soul—and give you practical ways to stay grounded while showing up for the people who need you most.
