54 // Creating A Strengths Based & Self Compassionate Approach to Life & Business (+ journal prompts)

Author: Devoney Kodad, Anxiety Therapist, Self Confidence Coach & Christian Yoga Teacher January 27, 2021 Duration: 20:48

In grad school we learned almost literally (not really) a million different approaches to our clinical work. CBT. DBT. PCIT. Systems. Strengths. MI. SF. So many.  In this episode I'm sharing with you how I am continuously creating my approach to my work with clients and how we can craft our APPROACH TO LIFE to create more joy, more alignment and more fulfillment.  I'll share with you some journaling prompts to help you identify what your approach is to:

your relationship with yourself

your business

and your lifestyle

and encourage you to start adopting a few of mine - being strengths based (focsuing more on your strengths and less on your flaws) and self compassion.

Enjoy!
