Here is how you can 👊 Beat the Burnout and have a great week ahead:
1. Be realistic- Lots of what is happening now is out of our hands. No matter how organized we are lots of setbacks are popping up. Let’s be realistic about the situation while recognizing how hard we are working. You are amazing!2. Cut out background noise- It can be stressful ensuring that our environment is always quiet and professional. Take a look at krisp.ai to see how this app can help make your background environment blessedly silent.
3. Be firm about cancellations- Clients are often late or AWOL when scheduled sessions begin. Use gentle but firm language to remind them about your cancellation policy. Make statements like “if _____ misses the 4:30 session again we may need to work on rescheduling him.” For clients that have requested services but are consistently unresponsive it may be best to put the ball in their court. Say “therapy seems to be on a pause right now. I’m available for services when you are ready to schedule again.”
4. Place fresh flowers on your desk or move your desk to a window. Make sure to enjoy the beauty of spring🌸🌸🌸
5. Take micro-breaks as needed- Make sure to give your eyes and brain a break between sessions. Close your eyes and breath, take a drink, or look out of the window. Resist the urge to leave your office if your will find yourself inundated with requests, kids, and kvetches. That will not help you feel ready for your next session.
6. Get fresh therapy materials and techniques- Using new therapy materials will help boost your morale. The multi-sensory course is full of new techniques and therapy materials for immediate use. You can save 20% on any of our courses with code ‘beattheburnout’ this week only!
