For therapists who cultivate psychological safety in their group practice
As a group practice owner, you’re constantly pulled away from your purpose to solve the newest problem: at the whim of the urgent and unexpected, buried beneath demands and to do’s, and sacrificing yourself for a system of your creation.
If therapists are the people who will change our world, who’s supporting you, their leader?
Creating an emotionally fluent society relies on the shepherds of clinical outcomes, absorbers of collective energy, and space-holders for the surfacing struggles — your providers are the people holding us together and helping us move forward.
Yet, there are days in your leadership when you feel desensitized and depleted. Days when you feel alone in your mission and misunderstood by your employees. It doesn’t help that your team’s resilience is starting to rupture in the face of ongoing vicarious trauma and crisis.
If your providers are burnt out, the last thing they want to do is attend a team-building event, sit through a lackluster lunch, or be celebrated for their competence with ten new clients while feeling behind on their clinical notes.
Resourcing your employees to solve problems and creating a trauma-informed workplace will do more for their performance and clinical outcomes than minimizing their overwhelm.
When you’re on the frontlines of our community’s future, you can't keep losing employees. Level Up Leaders Inc. supports group practice owners who are ready to cultivate psychological safety through a work culture of TRUST.
Collective impact
Our world will change one clinical outcome at a time. At the summit of this trickle effect? Therapists. Resourcing providers with resiliency and capacity within psychologically safe workplaces is necessary to facilitate individual and collective transformation for global impact.
Relational influence
More than any other factor, relationships at work predict team performance. Mastering relational leadership that is trauma-informed through cultivating a culture of TRUST is what combats turnover, overwhelm, and disengagement.
Trusting people create trusting people
The practice of TRUST emboldens us. It helps us authentically connect and be inspired in our work — and it invites those around us to extend trust to one another, too. When we question if we’re cut out for this, when we’re stretched to our limits, taking a human approach to development makes the world a better place.
