Why Therapists Need to Brag More: Mindset Medicine for ‘Good Therapists’ [Ep 111]


Listen Later

What if bragging actually helped grow your private practice instead of turning people off? I recently shared in my newsletter how I generated over $100,000 in sales in just six weeks, and you know what? I felt uncomfortable sharing that - which was my sign I needed to brag MORE. As therapists, we're taught to downplay our success because it's "not polite," but did you know that constantly focusing on what's not working actually leads straight to burnout?

In today's episode, I break down why celebrating wins isn't just okay - it's essential for your private practice longevity. I'll walk you through three different types of brags, show you exactly how to start celebrating yourself, and explain why this practice creates confidence and resilience. Plus, I share specific places where you can safely practice bragging with supportive communities.

Ready to fill your cup while running your private practice? This simple habit might be the preventative medicine you need. I've got a quick challenge at the end that you can complete in minutes to start experiencing the benefits immediately.

Topics covered in this episode:

  • How women are specifically conditioned to downplay accomplishments
  • The connection between bragging and preventing burnout in your private practice
  • The surprising reason why bragging is actually good for the people around you too
  • The science behind our negativity bias and why we need to intentionally work against it
  • Three different types of brags and safe places to share your brags
