Feedback - Yes Please!

4th November 2009

I love feedback! Feedback is the life blood of the talking therapies.  The NLP's say that there is no such thing as failure only feedback and I have to say I agree.  Lately though I have been getting my fair share of good feedback. Blood phobia, needle phobia, weight loss, referrals. These are all coming to me at the moment. I am getting lots of referrals because of word of mouth from satisfied clients telling their friends about their success with me. It makes it all worth while.

For those of you who might have wondered, being a therapist can be quite a solitary lifestyle.  People tend to come to see you when they have an issue that they want to deal with and when you have helped them reach a state of control or balance it is often the case that you don't hear from them again, save for the occasional card through the post.  Naturally not hearing from some one is in itself is a form of positive feedback. Nevertheless you can still be left in a state of wondering. So thanks to those of you who took the time to ring or email me this past month or so to let me know that things are going well.  You've spurred me on to be an even better therapist.
