The Five Growth Stages Every Successful Therapist Goes Through [Ep 171]

I've been coaching therapists since 2019, and I keep seeing the same trajectory play out, in my clients and even in myself. We move through five stages when we grow something, and one of them feels like proof that something has gone wrong when it's really the opposite. Most people misread it completely, pull back from the very thing that was working, and then blame the strategy. There's also a kind of discomfort that feels identical but means the total opposite, and confusing the two will keep you handing off the wrong thing at the wrong time.In this episode, I'm walking you through all five stages, how to tell which one you're in, and why all of this is really about buying back your time for the dance class you keep saying you'll get to.Topics covered in this episode:The importance of knowing the right moment to delegate in your private practiceThe 5 stages every therapist moves through when growing a business, and how to tell which one you're in right nowThe one feeling most therapists misread completely, and what it's actually trying to tell youThe mistake that makes a working strategy stop workingResources from this episode:Liberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessBuy Back Your Time: Get Unstuck, Reclaim Your Freedom, and Build Your Empire by Dan MartellThe Big Leap: Conquer Your Hidden Fear and Take Life to the Next Level by Gay HendricksConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachQuote:"Boredom doesn't mean something is wrong.
