It’s funny how the same stimulus (client cancels) can cause such a different response depending on the season you’re in.

In practicum, a cancellation felt like rejection. As an associate, it felt like one less paycheck, one more reason to question myself and my choice of this career.  In early licensure, it was relief laced with some guilt for not working that hour. 
And later on… it just feels like breathing room. Time to rest, to catch up on notes or snacks or scrolling memes.

That’s growth. Not just in skill, but in nervous system regulation. In trusting that rest is still productive. That there are so many ebbs and flows in this work.  
You stop seeing cancellations as personal and start seeing them as part of the rhythm of this work. Sometimes even as an unexpected gift.

…Just me? 😂

I remember trying to overcompensate for my Insecurity and imposter syndrome by dressing super “professional.”

As my confidence built, my authenticity increased.

What about you?

Please leave me alone 🫠

You ever end a full day of sessions and your body is like “we’re done here”? 👋

By the time I walk out of my office, I’ve been holding space, tracking emotions, remembering details, and staying attuned for hours. And even though I love this work so much, as a sensitive person, my nervous system is often tapped out.

Recharging is absolutely necessary.

If you’re a therapist who gets home and immediately faceplants into bed, you’re not alone. Sometimes this work takes a toll on us. But that means that our self-care needs to be a priority, too.

 👉 Therapists, what’s your after-session ritual?

Well, shoot … guess I’m gonna grab chipotle and get more time watching my shows 🤭

Ok, ok, obviously this is meant to be a joke, my friends. I love that social media can be lighthearted and fun.

There are some situations when cancellations are so challenging and cause us to feel insecure or anxious about our work or finances, especially in private practice. But there are other times when a bit more space, margin to write notes or rest is much appreciated. So I want to normalize that too. 😊

🗣️How do you handle cancellations in your practice?

So many people with OCD try therapy, but don’t realize not all therapy actually treats OCD. In fact, traditional talk therapy can sometimes accidentally reinforce the cycle.😩

ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) is the gold-standard treatment for OCD. ERP helps you face fears without rituals or reassurance so your brain can relearn safety and desire!

👉 If you or someone you love is struggling with OCD, make sure you’re working with a therapist trained in ERP. You can search for providers worldwide through the International OCD Foundation directory: iocdf.org/find-help.
