If you've ever frozen up mid-session thinking "how do I say this?!" today's episode is for you! Maybe you need to raise your rates or end therapy with a long-term client, or maybe you need to turn someone away who just isn't the "right" fit. Either way, these convos can be TOUGH!

It's even harder when you're in private practice and don't have a supervisor close by to run it by. You're definitely not alone, and you're NOT a bad therapist for needing help with this!

In today's episode, I'm sharing scripts for the hard conversations as a therapist in private practice

In this episode, I cover: 

• What to say when it's time to raise your rates
• How to turn away a potential client with confidence & care
• What to say when sessions start feeling more like "chit-chat" than therapy
• How to respond when a client cancels with less than 24 hours' notice
• Scripts for handling no-shows and setting clear expectations
• What to say when you're taking time off or heading on vacation
• How to communicate changes to your schedule or availability
