Episode #671: How To Not Screw Up Your Practice

Starting a practice? Watch for your old patterns.

In today’s Ask Allison, I share how building a business brings up old stuff—perfectionism, over-functioning, avoidance, you name it. It’s not new, just newly visible.

Episode #666: How To Set Goals Effectively

Feeling stuck with long-term goals? You’re not alone.

In today’s Ask Allison, I talk about how to stop spinning out over “growth” and start getting clear.

Feel like you’re always explaining your non-traditional therapy? You’re not alone.

Instead of leading with your method, speak to their experience. Talk about the stuckness, the frustration, the sense that talk therapy didn’t go deep enough. That’s what makes people feel seen—and curious.

You don’t need to explain everything. You just need to sho…
