Cancellations Are a Confidence Problem, Not a Time Problem

Описание: Cancellations are blamed on “being busy.” That story feels safe, but it misses the real issue.

People cancel when they are no longer sure the session still matters.

In this video, we break down why cancellations spike when clarity drops, how confidence quietly erodes during care, and what to say and do to rebuild commitment before the patient ever calls to cancel.

Key ideas we cover:
Why time is the wrong explanation
The 3 questions every patient needs answered to stay consistent
How “standalone visits” create drop-off
How to make skipping feel risky without sounding dramatic
Why policies help, but do not create commitment
How to audit your clinic for a confidence gap

Practical takeaways you can use right away:
Use simple, specific language that connects today’s visit to the next step
Reinforce “where we are” and “what comes next” every visit
Train the front desk to reschedule within the same week, not accept a cancellation
Keep messaging consistent across scheduling, treatment, and follow-up
