Are you masking how bad it really is?

When you find yourself struggling in private practice, how do you respond?

People always say that success in private practice is about “pushing through the hard times” or “just staying positive.”

But, if that’s all the guidance out there, then you’re left feeling really unsupported, right?!

What if you CAN’T just stay positive or keep pushing through?

This mindset can lead us to (re)create trauma in our businesses when we start telling ourselves:

• “I’m only struggling a little. It’s all good! It was WAY WORSE at my last job!”

• “I don’t need more time for self-care. I work from home all day, so it’s all good!”

• “I’m not really trying to make a lot of money, so I don’t NEED to raise my rates, and it’s fine that I’m not really saving for retirement.”

I see you. I know that building a business is really really hard, and we set the bar really high for ourselves (heeyyyyy all my fellow overachievers!).

But, when it comes to private practice, it’s NOT about pretending you have it all together and masking the struggles.

In fact, it’s completely the opposite!

Running a successful, sustainable private practice requires you to acknowledge and address your struggles head-on. Just like we tell our clients who have a tendency to mask their emotions…

Suppressing the truth of what’s happening internally only creates more stress, anxiety, and unhealthy habits/thought patterns.

Check out these 5 tips for navigating the challenges of running your private practice:

1. Embrace vulnerability and acknowledge when you need support.

2. Seek guidance from mentors or business coaches who have been in your shoes.

3. Prioritize self-care to prevent burnout and maintain a healthy work-life balance.

4. Delegate tasks that are draining your energy or taking up too much time.

5. Remember that it’s okay to ask for help and that you don’t have to do it all alone.
