42. Therapist Perfectionism: Trusting Your Voice in the Messy Middle of Business Growth in Private Practice
Maybe you’ve been sitting on a price rise for months because you can’t find the words that feel professional enough.
Maybe you’ve got a program living half-built in your laptop because it doesn’t feel “ready” yet.
Or maybe you’ve deleted the messy, human line from your caption and replaced it with something polished that could’ve come from anyone.
That’s perfectionism in the messy middle of business growth — and it shows up for every therapist I know.
In this episode, I talk about what growth really feels like when you’re running a therapy practice: the overthinking, the second-guessing, the rewriting until your shoulders ache. I’ll name the moments perfectionism sneaks in, why it gets so loud in these stretchy seasons, and what it can look like to trust your own voice anyway.
Because your clients, your community, your team — they don’t need you to be flawless. They need your presence.
And your voice, as it is today — imperfect, raw, unfiltered — is already enough.
