Which area could you use the most growth in?

There will always be room and opportunity for growth, but leaning into just one area helps you stay focused and centered rather than scatter-brained and overwhelmed.

Choose one area to lean into and dive in deep.

Go as far as you can with it before choosing another area to grow in and explore.

Decide what kind of support you need to help you be successful and create real growth in that specific area of your practice.

So, which area do you want to grow in right now? Let me know in the comments!

These three pillars are crucial to every therapist's clinical journey.

It takes a lot of grit and commitment to be a therapist, and it goes much deeper than formal education and skills.

By pursuing these three pillars to growth and actively incorporating them into your sessions and communications with each client, you'll much more easily navigate the waters of mental health and weather the storms that can sometimes pop up.

Navigating the waters of mental health as therapists demands a deep understanding of oneself, the courage to face the unknown, and an unwavering commitment to growth—both personal and professional.

It goes much further than academics and clinical skills.

It takes certain characteristics and values within ourselves to truly be effective as a therapist.

We all must dig down deep to engage these values and apply them to our work each day.

If we let it, this understanding, courage, and commitment will guide us in navigating our paths towards impact, fulfillment, and growth.

What values have helped guide you in your own clinical journey? Share your top three with us in the comments below!

Your fulfillment and satisfaction as a therapist are important too 💯

You chose this career path to help others, but that doesn't mean you need to be a martyr and deny your own needs in order to care for everyone else.

Prioritize your needs too, clinician.

When you're feeling burnt out, give yourself permission to pursue the things, people, and places that fill you up 🤩

And if that looks like taking a step back, taking a break, turning down appointment requests, or rearranging your schedule, then don't be afraid to do that.

You can't be effective if you aren't at your best!

Make the choice to refuel, not just for yourself, but also for the people you serve so that they can receive the best care possible from you 🤗

Your dreams matter, fellow clinician ✨

Without them, there would be no future.

Your dreams have gotten you this far and they'll keep taking you as far as you can imagine.

Embrace the unknown, no matter how scary or uncertain it is, and let yourself dream as big as you can!

If you keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll eventually get where you want to go.

So don't give up! You got this! 💪

What if I can't help anyone?

What if they don't like my suggestions or methods of therapy?

What if they think I'm a bad therapist?

What if? What if? What if?

No matter how much training or preparing we do in advance, nothing can truly prepare us for the real deal.

We can't know how our clients will react to us.

We can't know how to help someone right from the jump.

We can't know what something will really be like before we experience it.

But the more we practice, the more we work with our clients, the more we use various methods of therapy, the more comfortable we will become and the less we will wrestle with our feelings of inadequacy.

Everyone wrestles with feeling like they don't have what it takes, so remember that you're not alone.

Keep going, keep trying, keep moving forward even when you fail or make a mistake.

That's the only way to grow as a clinician and become a successful therapist!

How do you recover after dealing with a Therapy Interfering Behavior?

It's not easy to get things back on track once they've gone off the rails, but it is possible.

The most important thing is to openly communicate with your client and discuss the issues that are causing the interference.

If we don't address the issues head-on, then we cannot hope to repair the client-therapist relationship and move forward.

Creating an open and safe environment to discuss the behavioral issues that are cropping up will facilitate clarity for both you and the client, and will either mitigate the issues moving forward or will make it clear that the relationship is not working.

Being honest is key!

What are your top tips for redirecting a session after it goes off the rails? Share them with us in the comments below!

Just as a patient can exhibit difficult behavior that disrupts treatment, therapists can also exhibit problematic patterns that interfere in the therapeutic process.

Common therapist TIBs (or Therapy Interfering Behaviors) include:

- Arriving late or canceling appointments frequently
- Failing to return patient phone calls in a timely manner
- Making critical or judgmental statements towards the patient
- Disclosing too much personal information
- Seeming distracted, inattentive, or bored during sessions
- Responding defensively when patients give feedback about the therapy

These behaviors damage the therapist-client relationship and hinder the patient's progress.

Failing to reflect on your own behavior as a therapist and recognizing instances where these tendencies may be popping up for you will only create bigger problems that will ultimately end the therapist-client relationship, and can even damage your career.

We must be proactive in reflecting on our own tendencies, actions, and missteps to avoid these kinds of situations and to help our patients effectively.

Have you found yourself falling into these behavioral patterns at times? Let's support each other and share our own experiences with TIBs in the comments!

Looking for ways to create a warm and cozy atmosphere for both you and your clients this winter season?

Hygge is the perfect solution!

A Scandinavian concept, Hygge promotes the pursuit of joy and coziness, even during the darkest and coldest of times.

As winter continues to linger and mental health continues to decline, Hygge can help reverse the negative effects of the season and create a space for healing and recuperating.

Incorporating this concept into your space as a mental health professional can help your clients open up more and help you feel calm and centered as you guide your clients through the healing process.

Learn more about Hygge on our latest podcast episode on the Clinician to Clinician Podcast or head over to YouTube and check out our brand new channel, Clinician Vision!
