So Jane Travis has just posted about what's happening in The Grow Your Private Practice club in October - and as always there are a lot of really good quality coaching events. To join the club see the link in the comments below.
Jane says:

'What's happening in October?
LOTS!!
October marks the beginning of Q4, so on 5th October at 10 am it’s the Quarterly Action Plan. This is your chance to get focused and ready to make the most of this last quarter of 2022. So if you’re feeling stressed, this is for you. Let’s have a strong end to the year.

Need some social media help?

No problem, we have a Plan, Create, Post LITE call in the members Facebook community on 13th Oct 1pm.

I’ll share 4 plug and play posts and also share a ton of ideas to take away the guesswork.

Do you need some help with writing blogs? No problem, come along to the Let’s Blog call on 19th October and you can actually write it with me. Note: This is a practical workshop, so it runs from 11 am - 2 pm.

And of course, it’s the monthly Pick My Brain call on 27th October at 1pm, so you can get any questions answered.

And remember you have this Facebook community there where you can ask questions and get support, and the full library of courses available to you.

All this help and support is included in your monthly fee. Where else can you get such value?

BUT remember, you don’t win any prizes for trying to do everything, so don’t put yourself under pressure to try to attend everything, everything is recorded so you can catch up at your leisure.
Which are you looking forward to most?

And on 3rd Aug in the Spotlight call, I'll walk you through all the resources you have available to help you with imposter syndrome, fears, procrastination, shiny object syndrome, inner critic, perfectionism and self-sabotage generally.
Then on 16th of August, Kim Simmons, a therapists VA will be sharing a simple system to organise your practice online.
And 25th August is the Pick My Brain session where you can ask me anything.
So grab your diary and save the dates'

Following the earlier post with the video of the case against conversion therapy please see below a link to Stonewall to lobby your MP if you wish to.

You can help ban conversion therapy. LGBTQ+ people have nothing to be ashamed of and there is nothing wrong or broken about who we are. Our sexual orientations and gender identities are diverse and should be celebrated. Yet conversion practices are still legal and still happening in...

Just sharing the video of the talk on Monday from the Case Against Conversion Therapy event. This is Dominic Davies' (director of Pink Therapy) comment about the situation:
"Dear Colleagues,
You'll likely be aware that last week Boris Johnson and his government disgracefully backtracked on their pledge to outright ban so-called 'conversion therapy'. His ministers now plan to only ban LGB conversion therapy which leaves two significant groups at substantial risk from this highly damaging practice: Asexuals, who are the largest adult group to be targeted for ‘Conversion Therapy’ and Trans and gender-diverse young people, who have incredibly high rates of suicidal. ideation and self-harm and an urgent need to have skilled and trained therapists to work with them.

You can see below the video of a discussion I had this week with Doug Haldeman PhD asking if anyone can ever truly consent to conversion therapy. Please share this as widely as you can. It's hugely important that as many people are aware of this situation as possible.

You'll also find a list of helpful resources signposting key information and resources on conversion therapy and what you can do to support an outright ban.

Finally, Stonewall offer a very useful tool to allow you to contact your local MP and apply pressure for them to support a full ban. If you do nothing else, please take five minutes to get in touch with your parliamentary representative and express, in the strongest terms, your opposition to this pathetic back-tracking."
