Therapist need a therapist

Yes, it does and so does meditation!

My friend has a practice that specializes in helping entrepreneurs -www.lajollawellness.com they are in CA but also do remote consultations.

YES. Just interview a few and find one you feel comfortable and aligned with. It’s changed my life!

It could defiantly help with the stress aspect, couldn't hurt to try

Being a business owner is no joke. Totally normal to want to seek therapy, there is a lot of moving parts and managing them all... stressful. I wrote a blog post on the signs and how to support "artistic burnout". I really think you would find some value in it, check it out here

This is also where I recommend Brand Strategy. If Therapy is looking backwards from the present-state, then Brand Strategy is pivoting forwards to a desired-state.

We look at your Big Dreams, Goals, Aims, Focus, and how it all relates to the People that are going to Appreciate you over time, as you grow your Practice.

As a self-led soul looking to become and Executive, Executive Function is your largest Asset.

Which is shitty to say, because I too have had problems Focusing; and learning what moves are meaningful to help you gain momentum.

There are 101 things you CAN do in a day, but what actually matters is what needs doing.

What's the smallest version of your dream/experiment you can build and still say you DID, so you can get feedback from Alpha-users? ((IE: MVP))

Pomodoro, Eisenhower Matrix, Gratitude Checklists, Gantt Charts. . . there are tools out there to help you feel more in control and confident that you can wrestle your Executive Function back.

I help Creative Entrepreneurs and Personal Brands untangle the knot of ideas and procedure that are holding them back. Lemme know if you ever wanna talk.

I have seen a therapist for 4+ years now, every Monday that I can make it.

I did not want to get to fuck you money with all the baggage I had from being orphaned at 12 and all the poor life choices I make since then messing things up after a lot of years of sacrifice to get there.

It's help me find bliss or happiness in the simplest things, taught me how to be better at being present, and helped with my marriage balance.

Looking at it in a few months or session by session point of view it's nearly worthless, but the cumulative outcome over time has been worth it.

My counselor thought I was just an arrogant product of society striving to have things that wealth brought. Our business has grown into the solid 8 figures from nothing, but we stick to our plan and goals without frivolous distractions or toys so far. It coming though. I'm happy with the basics being well covered and having an unlimited amount of options if I so chose. He now sees that I really wanted to be happy in the present.

I still go and will for years to come. I'm hoping to continuously improve myself in any and every way that I can.

Yes. Or a life coach, more proactive and will help you with business goals as well. But that's a much more expensive option. I do both.

Yes a therapist can help for a bunch of things, just don’t give up on it if the first person doesn’t work.

Sounds like you need an assistant

Yes, it has changed my life. Makes you look at world in a different way. I am a better man for going.

Therapy will help! 2 suggestions:

Have intro conversations with a few different therapists to make sure you find someone you vibe with. A good connection and easy rapport makes it so much easier to go deep.

Be open to their suggestions. My therapist once suggested something that I thought sounded SO stupid. I did it anyway and it made me feel SO MUCH better.

Definitely. All kind of workout and activity. Mainly focusing on work life balance. Burnout is part of it, and how you'll get through it is tough. I found an interesting article about burnout and recovery strategies. You can check here https://www.cuppa.so/post/breaking-entrepreneurial-burnout-understanding-signs-and-recovery-strategies

The answer truly depends. I have witnessed and gone through experiences that led to me not being easily shaken. There isn't a feeling of stress but rather a sense of urgency to do more.

However, in general, the most important thing you can do is to narrow in on the reality of things and accept them. Remove unnecessary stress and overthinking by making it almost black and white.

I am in university studying chemistry and biology. I've started my 10th business and really want one to work, I'm 20, I work on a farm, play basketball, and workout... however, none of this bothers me because I got real with it:

Figure out the true reason why and you can accept the challenge. I do all of what I do because it makes me feel like a more fulfilled and better person. Find a way to get more output per time, and focus on your reason to keep going each and every day

I know you will get there. You are further than many.

I’m a therapist and an entrepreneur. I found my niche providing mental health support to entrepreneurs and equity/crypto traders.

Yes, it does help. A close friend of mine is a therapist, so we schedule time to be each others' therapist. It helps to clear your mind.

Another thing I do that is extremely helpful is taking daily walks. Get out of the house, get away from your laptop and spend time in nature.

not in my experience.

spent at least 2 years in therapy for depression

it can be nice to pay someone to listen to your shit

but I dont really need someone to just tell me to do the things I already know I should be doing

I feel like the entire session was just catching them up to how I felt and providing context and very rarely got to anything meaningful, and nothing that was really life changing

I've received significant insights from counseling.

I haven't read it yet, but based on other things I've heard from her, I can recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Entrepreneurs-Guide-Keeping-Your-Together/dp/B07C91YF17/ref=sr_1_4?crid=3VMS3RDAQ5A5A&keywords=walling&qid=1699587838&sprefix=w%2Caps%2C408&sr=8-4

I can help

I've been debating on getting therapy for a year..I guess one sesh wouldn't hurt. Though, I do feel scared about it.

Therapy works if you get a good therapist.

I think that it is just crucial. even when you don't feel like u need it, u do. Now that you're thinking of having a therapy, I think that is no longer a question. you need it.

No one can help you unless you are willing to help yourself.

Hope you understand.

Best you

Yup, many successful entrepreneurs have a therapist!
