I thought it could be helpful to share a list of categories and questions to check in on for your practice on a semi-regular basis. If you've been running your practice on autopilot, or if something hasn't been quite working in your practice but you can't quite pinpoint it, I made this episode with you in mind 🙂 Feel free to add to my list if I missed anything! Here are the steps I named in the episode: 1. What are your goals? 2. Choose a time frame to evaluate 3. Bookkeeping Checkup 4. Numbers Checkup 5. Marketing Checkup 6. Clinical Checkup 7.

Join Jimmy McKay, Tony Maritato, and Dave Kittle as we discuss topics related to physical therapy private practice.

DARVO was coined by Dr. Jennifer Freyd in the 1990s and stands for “Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender.” DARVO is a common defense strategy by perpetrators, narcissists, and offenders of both criminal and noncriminal harm when they wish to deflect accountability for their actions. Despite how common DARVO is both individually in relationships as well as on a larger scale (e.g., corporate and government level), it isn’t talked about very often. DARVO is highly effective at silencing victims. But I’m hopeful that by sharing knowledge of how DARVO operates, we can empower ourselves and our society to combat it. In this episode, we discuss the dynamics of DARVO, as well as the ways it can suppress whistleblowers and negatively impact their wellbeing. I know it’s a weighty topic for this episode, but it feels highly useful for all of us to have this knowledge handy, whether to advocate for ourselves or to better support our clients in identifying DARVO and successfully holding others accountable.
