Congratulations my friend!
Good morning from the river lovelies. I'm not sure if you have had a moment to notice or not, but I have had a definite uptick in my posts this past week.
And I have a very scary, fully courageous, extremely vulnerable confession to make: I made the decision to go out on my own - FULL TIME - as a private clinician.
I believe it's time
Everything has pointed me in this direction for months
Yup, I've left the safety and security of employment with an employer at this time. And to be honest, I'm not quite sure how it will go, with regards to finding something else in the near future. And because I made the choice to walk away - I am now flying without a net!
Talk about the arena.....and falling face down, flat out, shoulder deep in mud.
I've spent the past seven years studying, becoming certified and educated in topics that are inherent to our overall wellness. This partnered with my formal education and over 25 years working in Community and Social Services leaves me to believe I'm ready. Virtual support is easier than ever, including group and corporate training sessions, as well as the good old fashioned one on one sessions...
But I'm scared out of my mind and my anxiety is at an all time high. But NOTHING has felt this RIGHT in seven years.
So...do me a solid, if you will. Like, Share and encourage. Reach out and Reach in. And should you or someone you know be looking for that hand in the darkness, to give a tug and a loving nudge towards embracing themselves and their wellness wholly - I'm certified and regulated by the College of Social Workers/Social Service Workers, I have a Clinical Supervisor that supports my practice ( mandatory for my membership in the College) and am covered by most insurance plans.
And in the meantime, please buckle up for the full tilt, fully loving Grow Optimism explosion over the coming months! I see you. I love you. I am you. And I am DEEPLY grateful for you.
