One thing I didn’t realize would be part of my work as a therapist is the inevitability of clients “quitting” therapy, or when clients end therapy sooner than I had planned or anticipated given their treatment plan.

I remember the first time I had clients drop off prematurely from therapy, I took it personally. I questioned my treatment plan, my approach to counseling, and even whether I was cut out to be a therapist.

We all go through this! And it’s completely normal for clients to quit therapy. But it is important that we do our due diligence when this happens rather than internalizing it or sweeping it under the rug.

In this video, I share some tools to help you cope when clients quit therapy as well as some ways to help you improve the quality of your work going forward.
