Reading for Joy in Private Practice

Hello 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.
