Why Raising Your Prices Feels So Hard

Описание: Therapists, ever feel like you have to be available 24/7 for your clients—or they’ll leave?

In today’s episode of Selling the Couch, I sit down with executive coach and LMSW Melody Wilding to unpack how we can lead gently—even in relationships where we feel pressure to please.

We explore:
– How to set boundaries without guilt
– How to manage up with therapy clients
– And how to raise your rates (in a way that feels ethical)

This conversation is for any therapist or coach navigating the tension between being helpful… and being whole.
