This oneâs not just a podcast episode. Itâs a line in the sand.
If youâve ever felt paralyzed by doubt, overwhelmed by invisible blocks, or stuck in a private practice that just⌠doesnât workâyou need to hear this.
In this deeply honest, emotionally charged episode, Tiffany names the quiet war happening inside so many therapists. The war between yearning and defeat. Between hope and the internalized voice that says: âNot for someone like me.â
Tiffany peels back the curtain on whatâs really keeping brilliant therapists from building the premium-fee practices they dream aboutâand why it has nothing to do with your Psychology Today profile, your SEO, or your niche.
In this episode, Tiffany shares:
-
What she sees happen in the moment therapists want to leap, but canâtâand why itâs not your fault;
-
The unconscious pattern that keeps you spinning your wheels while your practice stays stuck year after year;
-
How early attachment wounds (yes, weâre going there) show up in your business decisions today;
-
Why âfailure to launchâ isnât a mindset issueâitâs a trauma pattern that needs to be understood and unwound;
-
What actually happens when you stop running and let yourself want more.
If you're a therapist whoâs done the trainings, read the books, followed all the expertsâand still finds yourself scared to actâthis episode might break something open.
