What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients should expect to take away moments of deep reflection with the mind and body. Learning to look and feel somatically to what the body is saying to you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths are keeping a tune to your needs and being reflective on how to grow as a therapist.
