Reading for Joy in Private PracticeHello and welcome to this week's episode of the Business of Psychology. This week is only going to be a short episode and it's a little bit of a self-indulgent one from me! For me, a big part of making sure that I always have inspiration for my work, that I feel motivated and like I'm still engaged in clinical psychology as a profession, is about what I'm consuming. When I find a new Substack that I'm really interested in, or if I read a chapter of a book that I've been wanting to read for ages, I can feel that filling up my inspiration cup! When I make the time to do that, I notice that it carries over into my work. I have more ideas, in the therapy room, as well as creative projects. So, I thought what might be useful is to share some recommendations with you for books that I've started and I'm planning to read over the next three to six months.Full show notes of this episode are available at The Business of PsychologyPsychology Business School: Start & Grow and CoachingIs this the year that you take your private practice seriously?
