I used to have an online business all about self-help for people-pleasers, and yup, I\u2019m a recovering people-pleaser. \n\nI\u2019m a whole lot better than I used to be, but I suspect that a lot of counsellors are people pleasers or recovering people-pleasers too. \n\nAnd being a people pleaser can have a real impact on your private practice. It can impact how you run your business and even what income you make. It can also lead to resentment and burnout. \n\nSo if you\u2019re a counsellor, how can you handle people-pleasing?\n\nIn this episode, we look at:\n> 5 ways being a people pleaser can impact you in private practice\n> 5 solutions to help\n> How it\u2019s not all about the clients\u2019 needs - and that\u2019s ok\n\nI don\u2019t think people pleasing just goes away, I think it\u2019s always going to be there lurking. It\u2019s for us to be aware of it and keep doing the work. And the more work we do, the better we feel. \n\nSaying no feels very uncomfortable sometimes, but the more you do it, the easier it gets. And it\u2019s totally worth it. \n\nCounselling is a valuable service - you are providing a valuable service. It\u2019s ok for people to pay for that service and it\u2019s ok to value yourself and what you do. \n\nIt\u2019s not all about the client - and that doesn\u2019t make you selfish. And it\u2019s okay for you to build your business into something that suits you and improves the quality of your life.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/7081d1e9-b057-4d73-83ac-8df31aeb0456/ue8o-h3j5-fgtok6jdxopsx4.jpg"}
