003: Passion and Intuition: The First Step to an Uncommon Practice
I’ll never forget during my graduate training when a professor said that we shouldn’t use intuition in the field because it was “unreliable.” This has always been something that’s stuck with me and as I’ve learned more, I’ve definitely come to disagree with the statement. When it comes to having an uncommon practice, being a passionate and intuitive therapist can pay off tenfold when it comes to things such as marketing, the structure of your practice, decision making, and the energy you have to serve your people.
In this episode, I am sharing the 3 components of being a passionate and intuitive therapist. I explore the various ways that having a passionate stance can help you clearly market to your audience. I also talk about how being secure in your own uniqueness can help you to foster collaboration over competition with other providers. I encourage you to start checking in with yourself daily and bringing more of your creative and intuitive side to your work. I hope this episode will leave you feeling inspired to do just that!
