On being a ‘successful’ therapist

The other day I was asked to speak with the members of the board at the agency I work for about what it is like to be a child therapist, what my day is like and things like that.
“Just tell one of your success stories,” I was advised.
“No problem,” I thought to myself. “This will be easy.”
So I began thinking … thinking … thinking. After about 10 minutes, I was feeling pretty down because I could not think of a single “success” story. All kinds of questions were running through my mind at once, and I was having some difficulty sorting them all out: Do I suck at my job? What’s wrong with me? Am I too hard on myself?

So I began reconsidering (which is the thing that got me in a bad position in any case). Rather than concentrating intensely for some wonder tale about how I was the mental Sherpa for a poor stranded soul to explore the tricky voyage to wellbeing, I started to consider the general conceptualization of the expression "achievement."

Achievement is a conceptual idea that is anything but difficult to characterize in a region, for example, business. It's about numbers, and numbers don't lie. The proportion between cash coming in and cash going out is the meaning of accomplishment in business.

Directing isn't developed that way. The entire idea of achievement in advising is abstract. Truly, insurance agencies endeavor to make it less emotional by making medicines plan with quantifiable destinations, for example, the recurrence and force of customer indications (crying spells, outrage upheavals, burdensome considerations, and so forth.).

This bugs me however, and here is the reason. On the off chance that you measure your prosperity as a specialist by regardless of whether a customer "shows signs of improvement," you will think you are the most noticeably bad individual on the planet — the host horrendous. For what reason is that? All things considered, shouldn't specialists be sufficiently talented to help individuals show signs of improvement? Indeed, they should, yet that informational index alone isn't dependable.

The issue is that there are a crazy measure of factors with regards to customer manifestations — the most essential and telling variable being whether the customer is focused on getting "better." The best specialist on the planet can't help an individual who isn't focused on progress. In like manner, the most noticeably bad specialist on the planet will almost certainly help a very dedicated customer. Gracious, and here is another variable: Most customer indications deteriorate before they show signs of improvement. That is simply part of the procedure.

Do you see how goading this is? In the event that you measure your prosperity by whether a customer gets "better," you will wear out in a radiant blast of interjections and abdication letters. So what are we to do? How would we measure achievement? The appropriate response is to challenge the very meaning of the word.


I went over a statement the day preceding I was booked to introduce before the individuals from the board. (Sidenote: I generally feel truly shrewd when I state "I ran over a statement" as though I invest my extra energy perusing verse and looking at extraordinary talks. Truly, just between you and me, I ran over this statement since somebody on ESPN Radio said it … however nobody else needs to realize that.) Winston Churchill broadly stated, "Achievement comprises of moving from inability to disappointment without loss of eagerness."
