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, you might wonder if it's even possible to run your own private practice. It is possible and we are here to help.
After years of working within group therapy, Maegan 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.
Here, Miranda talks with Maegan about the success she has had in running her business as well as the challenges she faces as a highly sensitive person (HSP). They also challenge how the normalized workload is too much to handle and how personal issues are business issues. Check out the vlog or podcast version today.
