The Modern Therapist's Survival Guide with Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy

It's About Time

Listen Later

Curt and Katie talk about how we value our time, looking at time when we are generating revenue AND the time when we are not generating revenue.    

It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. To support you as a whole person and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The initial conversations about time: Curt’s FB post, Jo Muirhead’s Article
  • Philosophical musings about the value of time
  • Podcastception: a podcast sparked by a blog post which was sparked by one of our Facebook posts
  • The value of client hours above other hours
  • How to value non-revenue time
  • The types of non-revenue generating time
  • Valuing time in different ways
  • The importance of self-care hours for many of our listeners and the lesser value that Curt places on these type of hours
  • Decision-making when looking at whether hiring someone to do work for your business
  • The different types of time (self-care, self-maintenance, rest, creative, content creation, work time, maintenance, etc.) and the different types of return on investment for those types (monetary, increased efficiency, positioning, strategic advantage, fulfillment, meaning, purpose, sustainability, quality of life, mission-driven, connection, etc.)
  • The importance of balancing these types of time to avoid burnout or washout
  • The unique return of investment for each person
  • Future-proofing your work (being able to plan for sustained work and retirement)
  • Looking at your whole career when you think about how you do your work
  • Burnout or moral injury as risks for clinicians
