Once again join us in welcoming presenter Steven Seiller, educator, advocate, and communications specialist.

Your Therapeutic Journey: Purpose, Practice, and Fulfillment in the Career You're Actually Building

This month, Steven will focus on The First Touch Paradox. The moments most likely to introduce you are often the least intentional: the service menu that reads more like a take-out menu, the online profile about you that doesn't embody you, the intake that drains trust before the relationship begins. Your first touch occurs before you know it.

They begin with a longing for relevance, safety, and relief and their first impression shapes what they are willing to believe, read, or do next.

In this session, we'll explore:

- How practitioners at every stage of their career can use this arc to see both what they've built and what's still possible.

- What constitutes "therapeutic success" and how to know where you are on that arc right now.

- How clarity across the stages creates coherence, so the clinical work and the business work together flow as smoothly as your hands.

- The single strongest predictor of client outcomes you can actually control, and how it improves client attendance, treatment adherence, and referrals.

- How connecting purpose to practice protects against the profession's 50–88% attrition rate where the average career lasts 3-5 years.

How we'll spend the time:

- A mix of brief framing, self-guided inventory, and small-group conversation with fellow practitioners. The focus is shared reflection, not instruction. You'll leave with a self-assessment tool and a clearer sense of where your journey is now.
