When December hits, so many psychologists panic about their projected revenue even when nothing is actually wrong. So today I am offering a pep talk about understanding private practice seasons and protecting your energy with real burnout prevention instead of anxiety-driven decision-making.

This episode is my behind-the-scenes look at how I evaluate private practice seasons, why projected revenue always dips this time of year, and how I use simple cognitive reframes as part of my own burnout prevention. If you find yourself spiraling every December, this is a pep talk you can come back to again and again. I break down why this seasonal dip is normal, explain what I look for when numbers actually matter, and show you how to interpret projected revenue without assuming your practice is failing.

In this episode, I share:

• Why private practice seasons always shift in December, and how that impacts projected revenue

• The specific cognitive reframe I use when I need a pep talk about my numbers

• How I distinguish normal seasonal changes from true red flags in projected revenue

• Why intentional rest is not a weakness but one of the most effective tools for burnout prevention

• How understanding private practice seasons can help you stop overreacting and start leading with clarity

Even during the lowest point of the year, you can shift out of fear and into confidence when you understand what your numbers actually mean. This is a pep talk for every practice owner who wants to stay grounded, committed, and aligned as they move through the natural rhythm of private practice seasons.
