Episode 133. The 1st Annual Innovative Therapist Retreat is in the books! It's been almost 3 weeks, and it's time to share how it went. This episode is more about my experience hosting and some early reflections. More later on the healing power of community, and other's experiences. If you are thinking of creating something innovative, this episode is for you! What to Expect in this Episode I cover: * The report on the Inaugural Innovative Therapist Retreat! (please listen to this previous episode about Creating Something Useful for the full retreat creation backstory) * My intention with this event and what it involved * What I witnessed in the participants * Guidance on how to decide what to create outside of the 1 on 1 model of therapy practice (including how Human Design can inform how each of us may be different in this) * Why I think I got super sick after the retreat * What I've learned about myself in the 3 weeks since it's been done * The pros and cons of hosting a retreat from a business perspective (and the answer to the question, "Did it feel like a paid vacation for me?") * And so much more! Wanting more support beyond these podcasts? * I am currently accepting new therapy clients if you live in one of these 40 states in the US * My rate for an intake session is $220 and for a 45 minute follow up is $195 * If interested in learning more, including my availability and details about my practice, email me at [email protected] or call 616-227-0001 * Or if you are a therapist of helping professional looking to connect in community and learn more about or experience the IFS model, get on my email list here and/or email me at [email protected] to introduce yourself!
