I love this article, Kate! Not only does staying whole and happy in times of trouble require a lot of persistence, but also humor, which was definitely present in your article.

Thanks for the great article! A well-balanced life is the first step to doing anything great (and living to tell about it). As a therapist, this is a very important thing to remember with my clients, I especially appreciated what you said about asking your client if they were eating well, sleeping well, and excersizing. What an important thing to keep in mind, but one that we so easily forget when we get busy/stressed out/emotionally troubled. Thanks again for writing!

Thanks for the article, Miriam. I recently started my private practice and was concerned about the new laws about credentialing, but you have made it all very clear! Thanks for the peace of mind.

Great article Valerie! I also appreciated Bob's comment about going to networking functions with no expectations. As a psychotherapist starting my private practice, I get into a tricky situation at networking functions. Because of rules governing how I know my clients in the outside world (e.g. I can't see a person as a client if they are a coworker or friend, etc), I have had to take a lot of the pressure off myself in networking meetings, as far as finding new clients goes. I've found that it's great practice for my elevator pitch, and I also get to meet really interesting people, which is always enjoyable!

Great article! I'm an Existential psychotherapist, and I focus on creating and sustaining meaning in my client's lives, and there's definitely an element of that to what you are writing about, as far as meeting interesting people and helping out other folks who need help with something.

Awesome article, Ben. I remember reading Rumi, who was a poet from Iran from many years ago, and one of the lines from a poem he wrote was "dive into the ocean and let the sea be with you." I tell myself this everytime I falter when moving forward with my own business, or anything else in my life, for that matter. Just get out there and do it! Dive in!

Thanks again! -Kate
