I am a private practice psychotherapist. What business expense category would supervision and my own therapy go under (these services improve my work skills) ?

I am a psychotherapist and meet with my own therapist and supervisor on a weekly basis. I pay for these services-- what business expense category would they qualify for? These services strengthen and benefit my own skills which benefits my business.

These are not deductible business expenses. It runs along the same lines of a musician wanting to deduct concert tickets or a massage therapist who pays for massage.

They could be medical expenses.
