EP. 258 Stuck in the Valley of Despair? Here’s What’s Really Happening

Ever felt super confident when starting something new, only to hit a wall? That’s the Dunning Kruger Effect!  Understanding this psychological phenomenon can provide clarity on why you might feel confused or frustrated while running your MFR business and selling your services.

Tune in as Heather breaks down the four stages of the Dunning Kruger curve: the Peak of Mount Stupid, the Valley of Despair, the Slope of Enlightenment, and the Plateau of Sustainability. She explains how new MFR therapists often feel overconfident at first, only to face a reality check as they realize the complexities of their practice. With the right support and skills, you can navigate through these stages, ultimately reaching a place of mastery where confidence aligns with competence.
