Description

Ever felt guilty for wanting to make good money as a therapist? That's good therapist conditioning at work, and it's probably destroying your practice. Good therapist conditioning is a toxic belief we absorb in grad school, from supervisors and from society that tells us we should sacrifice ourselves for our work. It's that uncomfortable feeling when you talk about money, that guilt when you put yourself first, that fear that other therapists will judge you for wanting financial stability.

In today's episode, I'm showing you how to spot good therapist conditioning in your own practice and, more importantly, how to slay it. I'll share real stories from therapists who went from shaking in their boots about raising fees to consistently filling their practices with full-fee clients. We'll talk about why financial health is actually part of your clinical effectiveness and why you don't need anyone's permission to thrive.

 If you're tired of being overworked, underpaid, and feeling guilty about wanting more, you're in the right place! It's time for you to build a practice that supports your life.

Topics covered on Good Therapist Conditioning:

  • Why good therapist conditioning starts in grad school and gets reinforced everywhere you look
  • The toxic belief that caring about clients and making good money are mutually exclusive
  • The "bad therapist" exercise that will crack open your money blocks immediately
  • Real stories of therapists who raised their rates without losing a single client
  • The hidden ways good therapist conditioning shows up in your life and business
