NEW RESOURCE: Life After Therapy: A Guided Workbook for Discharge, Transfer, and Aftercare Planning

When your client says:

"I have to end therapy after this month."

Do you know what to do?

When your caseload is being rebalanced and you have to transfer 5 clients, how will you help them protect their progress?

When you get a new job, how do you manage the 2 dozen, emotional, client goodbyes?

When you know your client is ready to graduate, but they get too nervous to think about it, how will you ethically support them?

Research, your therapist bestie, and your supervisor can all tell you that ensuring an ethical, kind, and thorough transition brings peace to everyone involved.

You need a tool to do that easily, when you're focused on a thousand other things.

I wrote this tool for the therapists who want their clients to have successful transitions.

I wrote this tool for the therapists who want their clients to remember the good work that they've done.

I wrote this tool for the clients who "can't quite put their finger on it," but they know they are getting healthier and want to keep their momentum.

I wrote this tool for the therapists and clients who need to end the therapeutic relationship, but deserve to have a tangible acknowledgement of that relationship.

It's tough doing the invisible work of therapy. It's tough for clients and therapists.

This workbook gets you and your client clear as day about next steps.
