Shownotes

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.
