When Christmas Hurts: Grief at Christmas and How To Look After Yourself

The Cost of Being A Therapist In Private Practice

In this episode I talk of the financial cost of being a therapist in private practice.  There are many overheads for therapists, which isn't always taken into consideration when it comes to charging a fee for therapy.  In this episode I list many outgoings a therapist has solely to run the practice alone.

Why Manifestation Alone Won't Make You Rich

We can manifest and create vision boards, but if our nervous system does not feel like we are safe to have financial abundance, it will stop us from getting to the place we truly desire.  In this episode, I talk about: - What having money means to you - What are the earlier messages you received growing up about money - How you imagine yourself to be with more money - Looking at our historical patterns and our relationship to money.  - How we can take small steps to show our system it is safe to have more.  Connect with Claire on: Website: https://www.claireratcliffepsychotherapy.co.uk/ [https://www.claireratcliffepsychotherapy.co.uk/] Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cr_psychotherapy/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/cr_psychotherapy/?hl=en]  &  @relationshiptherapyuk TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cr_psychotherapy Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claire-ratcliffe-psychotherapy [https://uk.linkedin.com/in/claire-ratcliffe-psychotherapy-6338175a]
