What if I don’t know what I’m doing in my first session?
How do I know if I’m being paid fairly?
How do I protect my energy in private practice?
This episode is a mailbag episode, where Bronwyn and I go through some listener questions.
We talk honestly and practically about what it’s really like in the early and middle stages of practice. From first session nerves, to niching, money, burnout and protecting your energy in private practice.
This episode is a mix of lived experience, mistakes we’ve made, and the things we wish someone had told us sooner.
In this episode we cover:
- What actually helps when you’re seeing your first ever client
- How to think about niching without boxing yourself in
- Why pay is complicated and what to look at beyond the number
- How to protect your mental health and energy in private practice
- Why listening matters more than saying the right thing
If you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing this job “right”, this one is for you.
If this episode stirred something for you, you are not alone. We are all human in this work.
