Show Notes
Many therapists worry about not getting enough clients in private practice.
But there’s another fear that rarely gets talked about.
What if you get too many?
In this episode, I explore a thoughtful email from therapist Laura, who is hesitant about marketing their practice - not because they don’t want clients, but because they are worried about over-committing and under-delivering.
We look at why this concern shows up for so many therapists, how it can influence your marketing decisions, and why avoiding visibility can sometimes lead to the feast-and-famine cycle in private practice.
And most importantly, we talk about what actually protects your workload and wellbeing.
