When I talk to therapists about what they truly want to accomplish and how they most want to work, they talk about wanting to work in ways that involve less 1:1 sessions. Some folks feel limited by the constraints of private practice, and they're ready to expand in a new direction.

They start to dream into the idea of creating innovative programs. They want to collaborate with different kinds of healers. They may even want to help lead movements.

And then within a few minutes, they start worrying about their therapy licenses.

I hear these concerns:

"What if I do something to mess up my therapy license? I could lose it."

"What will my colleagues think?"

Sometimes those concerns are enough to stop some people before they even get to dream into a new vision.

The possibility is shut off.

🔥Now let me be clear. My suggestion that you burn your therapy license is a symbolic one.

If you've got a therapy license, you worked hard for that thing. You may want to keep it! You may not. Either choice is fine. Your therapy license is one important tool in your career.

But symbolically, take a moment to burn it or otherwise let it go. Just in your imagination. Just for a moment.

Ask yourself this:

In what ways is your fear of losing your license holding you back from serving in the ways you are meant to serve?

I'd love to know.
