Dr. Therese Perdedjian on Chiropractic, Presence & Avoiding Burnout in Practice

In this episode of the Chiropractic Mindset Mastery Podcast, Dr. Danny Scahill sits down with Dr. Therese Perdedjian — chiropractor, educator, author, sculptor and artist who has spent more than 25 years exploring the relationship between chiropractic, creativity, business and human connection.Therese's chiropractic journey began with a single adjustment. She got off the table asking "What is this?" and that experience ultimately changed the direction of her life.Today her approach to chiropractic goes far beyond technique. Therese shares how sculpture has influenced the way she observes and works with the human body and why slowing down has actually allowed her to become more present and fulfilled in practice.One of the most fascinating parts of the conversation is Therese's concept of the "joy period" — understanding the amount of time you can genuinely give your best in practice before your energy and presence begin to drop.Danny and Therese also explore the realities of running a chiropractic business, money, mentorship, burnout and why being a great practitioner doesn't automatically make you a great business owner.Inside this episode:Therese's journey into chiropractic more than 25 years agoHow one chiropractic adjustment changed her lifeWhy chiropractic opened the door to art and sculptureThe relationship between adjusting and artistic expressionThe philosophy behind The Art of ChiropracticFinding your "joy period" in practiceWhy working longer doesn't necessarily mean serving betterPresence and energy when working with clientsThe difference between being a practitioner and running a businessWhy chiropractors need to understand moneyAvoiding burnout and creating a practice that supports your lifeThe mentors who shaped Therese's approach to adjustingWhat sculpture has taught her about observing the human bodyHer Adjusting in Tone teaching programmeWhy consuming information means very little unless you take actionTherese also discusses her book On Your Own Two Feet: How to Use Natural Law to Avoid Burnout and Ensure Business Practice Success and why she believes chiropractors need to consciously design both their practice and their life.This is a thought-provoking conversation for chiropractors who want to become more present, develop their craft and create success without sacrificing themselves in the process.
