And I share my thoughts on why this matters: "This is actually the future of therapy - how are you going to adapt as a one-to-one therapist to make your longevity more assured?"

If you're a therapist who loves your one-to-one work but wants to reduce your caseload, increase your income, or find more balance, this episode is absolutely for you. I hope you enjoy this conversation and find some inspiration for your own journey!
