I get up. I walk. I fall down. Meanwhile, I keep dancing...

Tonight I had my first session with a couple that I found on my own. No referral. Just me, marketing myself. And I was able to ask for my full fee, a first for me, because all my previous clients had a predetermined fee based on a sliding scale.

Luckily, having my internship in private practice helped me prepare for some of the business aspects. In the past, it has been more difficult asking for payment for therapy than it has been for other work that's less connected to my heart. I look forward to this changing.

The session was difficult and there was a lot uncovered. Once things are released and out in the open, then healing can begin. I'm excited about the progress we made and have another appointment set up next week. I am trusting that just being myself is enough.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to practice once again. To get up, fall down, but most of all, thrilled to dance.
