What to Do When You've Lost Your Therapist Flow

March 27, 2018 Ili Rivera Walter, PhD, LMFT

Dr. Debra Campbell, author of Lovelands, recently visited The Refreshed Therapist Book Club to discuss the story of her book, and to contribute her insights into living life as a psychotherapist. In Lovelands, Dr. Campbell courageously and skillfully shares stories from her life, including how her identities as a woman, wife, mother, and psychologist have influenced and enhanced her work with clients.

In this post, I am including a brief video clip of the interview, during which Dr. Campbell discusses what therapists can do when they find themselves "out of flow" with their work.

In The Refreshed Therapist Network, members go through a quarterly and yearly goal-setting and reflection process. Today, I'm bringing you questions and strategies I use to guide members through clarifying their goals.

The Therapist's Guide to Generosity and Pricing in Business, Part 2: Q + A

March 6, 2018 Ili Rivera Walter, PhD, LMFT

A few months ago, I wrote The Therapist's Brief Guid to Generosity and Pricing in Business. When I sent the article to my email subscribers, I asked them "What is your #1 struggle with pricing?"

I received several responses.

I realized by engaging in conversations with my readers, how pertinent the topic of pricing is for therapists at any stage of business. As a result, I thought you might find readers' questions, along with my responses, helpful, as you continue to craft your pricing policies.
