You all know I’m totally down with depth-oriented psychoanalytic therapy. AND, you all know I’m 100% down with thinking about the ways money and fees are actually communications in treatment that help us get a deeper understanding of our client’s thoughts, beliefs and patterns. For example, when your client comes into therapy: 🤓 Did she come [...]
I have a friend who gives WAY too many fucks (you know who you are). In fact, his intellect knows that he gives too many fucks. He even sent me this article by Mark Manson that is all about giving less fucks. #sogood Here’s the thing, therapists give a whole bunch of fucks - waaaay [...]
Holy Smokes! I remember the first time I ever bought an online program. It was a doozy, too. I didn’t start with just a $47 program. Nope! I guess that’s not how I roll. My first investment in an online training program was a whopping $2,000. No joke. Before I made that purchase, I couldn’t [...]
Have you ever noticed when the topic of therapist fees comes up in Facebook groups, especially when it’s related to raising fees or earning more, there is one person who jumps in, writes some random comment about “PRICE-FIXING” all in caps and then either ghosts hard core or pops in and makes enigmatic statements about [...]

I am at the airport, as we speak, returning from NEXT - the 2-day live retreat + 6 month mastermind that I run with Allison Puryear of Abundance Practice Building. Even though Allison and I had THIS text exchange: Here I am writing this blog for you, my sweets! WHY?! Why, when I [...]
You sit down for your session and your client instantly dives into the following: “Oh! I need to skip next week. Ben and I are going to Calistoga for a wedding. Ugh. It’s his friend from college.
