Pain and Burnout in Private Practice: Starting a Practice as an HSP & Introvert
Do you think you would have more difficulty than others sharing your practice? Would you feel comfortable speaking to insurance companies about raising your rates, or referring out clients after you don't feel compatible with them? As an introvert, have you wondered if it's possible to run your own private practice?
After years of working within group therapy, Megan was able to bring her own vision to life by opening her practice and relocating. Right when the honeymoon phase fizzled out, her body started taking a toll. She tried medication and implementing techniques from a coaching program, but they just created burnout. Feeling the lowest she ever had, she was close to shutting down her clinical practice, until she stumbled upon a life-changing article.
Megan, LMFT in the Portland area, discusses the success she has had in running her business as well as the challenges she faces as a highly sensitive person (HSP). She also challenges how the normalized workload is too much to handle and how personal issues are business issues.
