[FLASHBACK - Episode 10] Peeing Your Pants & Other Private Practice Startup Fears [featuring Jeff Guenther]
Private Practice Startup fears are real, but have you thought that you were peeing your pants during your sessions?
In this hilarious but very real episode, I talk with Jeff Guenther, the owner and founder of Therapy Den and a TikTok influencer, about the very real fears that exist when starting your private practice.
I talk about my own fears of leaving my agency job, including the infamous question: "Will people ever call me, and am I qualified enough to help people?" AKA Impostor Syndrome...
Jeff talks about starting his private practice in Portland Oregon, marketing via Craigslist and hanging flyers on telephone poles, and considering quitting the career in mental health therapy due to the stressors.
We talk about:
- Startup Fears and how normal they are
- Jeff's very real fears of "phantom peeing himself" during therapy sessions
- My fears and imposter syndrome when taking the leap to leave my agency job
- How to work through the fear and anxiety, and learn to trust your instincts and skills
