Nothing magical happens at midnight.
The therapists who end up with practices they actually like didn’t wait for a reset. 
They made small, aligned moves and just kept going.

AI can assist but it can’t replace you.
If you’re wondering how to “stand out”: be findable, be referable, be human.
What’s one human thing you’re proud of this year?

“In order to change skins, evolve into new cycles, I feel one has to learn to discard. If one changes internally, one should not continue to live with the same objects. They reflect one’s mind and psyche of yesterday. I throw away what has no dynamic, living use.” — Anaïs Nin

Wednesday wisdom.

End-of-year buzz can sound like: “do more, be everywhere.”
Quick check: is this move fueled by fear—or by vision?
Write down 3 business decisions you made lately and label each one.
No shame, just clarity. What did you notice?

Burned out and still want to grow? Try the 60-second move:
Forward a kind note to a colleague you admire.
One sentence about what they do brilliantly.
That’s it.

Sometimes the most “business-savvy” thing you can do is go to bed.
You can’t out-hustle burnout.
You can’t market your way out of exhaustion.
Therapists — what’s your go-to move when your tank is empty?

Everyone wants the “3 easy steps” to a full practice.
Here’s mine:
1. Talk to people.
2. Build trust.
3. Repeat.
(Sorry, no crazier answer.)
What would you add to this list?

Sitting with your dying loved one:

Be as calm as you can
Allow love to fill the room
Honour all the moments
Allow yourself the gift of being human through it
Simply being there is all that is needed

Image of a large white window with a long voile closed halfway along the window - part of a post about 3 things Donna (The Grief Counsellor) has learned since accompanying her mum during her last hours.

Next week I’ll be sharing some reflections on being with my mum in her final hours and what it can teach us. If you’re walking a similar path, I hope it brings comfort or language for what you’re carrying.

I've shared in the comments 3 things I learned:

#grief #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

What’s a word or phrase I can use to describe the process of going through my parents’ home and deciding what not to keep that’s not………..‘get rid of’, ‘chuck’ or ‘throw away’? I need something softer, more reverent.

#grief #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

Another therapist once told me: “I feel like I’m not fully recognized anywhere.”
That line gutted me — and also nailed the experience of so many high-achieving, burned-out therapists.
Do you resonate with that?

No one should be holding the weight of ten stories a day. Let's first start with normalizing healthy boundaries and limits.

One more example of love songs that show attachment issues or codependency but the rhythm and tone are such a vibe 🎶😄❤️‍🔥

Somebody oughtta remix my codependency/attachment issues playlist with healthy/ I overcame this lyrics 🥲😁

PSA: Feeling fried ≠ ‘not cut out for it.’ It usually means ‘under-resourced and isolated.’ Find one colleague. Start with ‘I thought of you today.’

You’re carrying the weight of ten stories a day. No human body—no matter how trained—can hold that alone. Peers are how we metabolize the work.

Therapists already see a lot more of the inner workings of many workplaces than companies realize.

Networking isn’t always about who knows your name. It’s about who remembers you when an opportunity shows up.

#therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists #therapists

Not every connection becomes a referral. But some become your business partner. Or supervisor. Or friend. Or life raft.

#therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

If you're waiting for the “big break” that finally fills your practice, here’s a wild idea: what if it’s a quiet referral from someone who trusts you?

#therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists #therapists

If your therapist self feels sturdy but your business self is flailing—that’s not failure. It’s a sign that one part needs more support.

#therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

You’re allowed to want help before everything’s on fire.

#therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

Being the ‘strong one’ doesn’t mean you never need support. It means you’ve probably just gotten really good at hiding it.

#therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

Just because you can rearrange your whole schedule to accommodate someone...doesn’t mean you should.

Creativity is a central pillar of Gestalt therapy. How do you get creative in your practice?
