Why Therapists Need to Brag More: Mindset Medicine for ‘Good Therapists’ [Ep 111]

What if bragging actually helped grow your private practice instead of turning people off? I recently shared in my newsletter how I generated over $100,000 in sales in just six weeks, and you know what? I felt uncomfortable sharing that - which was my sign I needed to brag MORE. As therapists, we're taught to downplay our success because it's "not polite," but did you know that constantly focusing on what's not working actually leads straight to burnout?In today's episode, I break down why celebrating wins isn't just okay - it's essential for your private practice longevity. I'll walk you through three different types of brags, show you exactly how to start celebrating yourself, and explain why this practice creates confidence and resilience. Plus, I share specific places where you can safely practice bragging with supportive communities.Ready to fill your cup while running your private practice? This simple habit might be the preventative medicine you need. I've got a quick challenge at the end that you can complete in minutes to start experiencing the benefits immediately.Topics covered in this episode:How women are specifically conditioned to downplay accomplishmentsThe connection between bragging and preventing burnout in your private practiceThe surprising reason why bragging is actually good for the people around you tooThe science behind our negativity bias and why we need to intentionally work against itThree different types of brags and safe places to share your bragsResources from this episode:Healing Money Facebook groupLiberated Business: www.thebadtherapist.coach/liberatedbusinessConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachRelated episodes:Quarter Two Planning: How to Stay Accountable & Consistent in Your Business Goals [Ep 110]Quarter Two Planning: How to Set Strategic Goals for Your Private Practice [Ep 109]Quarter Two Planning Series: How to Assess Your First Quarter & Create a Clear Roadmap for Your Private Practice [Ep 108]Quote:"Bragging is like preventative medicine—it fills your cup and keeps you going." - Felicia
