Perfect timing for this video. I'm currently working with a client that has very deep issues that are being worked on and we are now dealing with snow storms that is causing rescheduling of appointments.
This is a bit different than what was discussed but it does help with preparing for the time lag.
That is pretty funny how timely this ended up being... between the storms that are really messing up scheduled, cold and flu season, and of course the "big" things that come up. I'm dealing with a client right now who needed to move right in the middle of her sessions creating a financial strain... But we are right in the middle of her sessions, so I'm needing to remember the sage advice from this episode!
Another fantastic topic, thank you Brenda & Cal ????
Having a plan A, B, C, D.... That's how I roll, but it took time and experience to get there. I really think your words were important Brenda about "knowing your stuff" so that no matter what the client brings to the session, you can alter course if necessary.
And, of course, the only way to really know your stuff is great training (aka 5-PATH imho) experience in actually doing the work and then on-going professional development & training.
The rapport with clients is critical, as you say, and will always help during any difficult times. This was a good reminder of its importance.
