One of our biggest challenges with timeliness is the 'Chatty Cathy.'  These are some of our best patients.  They're super sociable and often fun to work with.  But they make finishing a session on time a challenge.

We've gotten this question/comment from many of you, and this 'sode is inspired by a post from one of our mentees in the Business Accelerator program (www.pelvicptrising.com/accelerator).

Really, there are three reasons this might be a problem for you in your practice.

1. Politeness.  You aren't comfortable interrupting or find it rude to stop a patient as they go on.
2. You're a 'down-low Chatty Cathy yourself.'  As one of our mentees said, she struggles with this because she also enjoys the conversation!
3. You're frustrated with going over but don't have the skills or ability to stop it.

We make sure you're taking control of your 'Last 5' with your patient, ending the session authoritatively, and giving them specific directions as they finish.

We'll also discuss the challenges of people who are having trouble 'taking the hint' that the session is now over.

Getting good at these techniques will prevent a lot of the problems you're experiencing, keep you running on time and decrease your frustration/anxiety with running over.
