Do you feel anxious about being visible online? If you do, you're not alone. However, potential clients find photos and videos a helpful way to relate to therapists and lack of visibility may be hampering your marketing efforts. So this episode delves into how you can feel more comfortable with being on camera and how embracing your authentic self can help you connect with clients.
In today's episode:
- how perfectionism and imposter syndrome can hold you back but how making mistakes can actually inspire others and create connection
- why focusing on the message is more important than your appearance
- what the "Spotlight Effect" is and how it can help you feel more comfortable
- why self-consciousness isn't a bad thing
