Dear Therapist in Training,
We might not publicly talk about it, but when clients don’t show up for their session, do not respond or even ghost, it can be a real challenge. We might feel responsible, annoyed, confused or even relief.
In this free open letter I share about what might be happening for a client, what might be happening for you, and what you might want to do with your time if your client doesn’t show up to your session. Click the bio to read more.
It’s something we all experience, and something we all have to walk through.
For me, I now have a list of things I can do while I wait for a client: crochet or knitting, reading a book, watching old SNL clips, planning something creative or just doing admin.
To those who have experienced this, what do you do when you have a no show?
Take care of yourself,
Your sibling will therapist.
Elliot 👋🏾
