Gratitude

It's been a lovely week of clients lord.
My practice is full. i know better now to assume it'll be full next week void of cancellations. But what is warming my heart to see and realize is that my client-ale is building. i may not have a full week, but the clients i do have, stay and they internalize me as a resource and they come back.
It's been a week of 3 "returning clients". It never fails to warm my heart. It lets me know that i have been successful with termination. That they have left with a secure connection knowing that i will be always be here for them and they can come back whenever they need.
To me, if there is only one thing i do right in therapy -- it's that. Given my own fears of abandonment and leaving.
But thank you Lord. i finish my hours this month. It's been such a poignant and meaningful journey. i feel so grateful to Christian Counseling Center -- for the opportunity to graduate with a full practice, to feel ownership and pride in working in the field.
This agency that i simply stumbled upon, simply ran into has now become such a core launching pad for my practice. Today as i am 55 hours to the end, i have 15 consistent clients, a referral pool and contacts in the San Jose area.
I remember as a contractor hating the marketing business development part of my own business. Thankful and grateful that getting clients as a therapist has come more naturally.
