On today’s episode, Emma and Hannah explore the complexities of therapeutic relationships, discussing the importance of recognizing barriers, finding the right fit, and understanding client readiness for change. They emphasize the need for practitioners to reflect on their own energy and engagement levels, and how noticing where high energy is happening so we can recognize where we thrive in business. The conversation also touches on the evolution of therapeutic relationships over time and the significance of being open to change in practice.
