I'm your host, Carolyn Solo LCSW, EMDR consultant, business coach, and mom to a neurodivergent six year old, a four year old and one year old. I started offering EMDR intensives in 2022 after becoming burnt out from the grind of week-to-week sessions. Managing a caseload of 20+ clients every week had a huge impact on my ability to be present for my family and I struggled to take breaks or days off because I was worried about letting my clients down. I knew something had to change. EMDR intensives (or the Disney Fast Pass of Therapy as I like to call them) have completely transformed my entire business model. I now offer EMDR intensives almost exclusively in my practice, making significantly more money and working fewer clinical hours, my clients get better results, spend less time in therapy and I have more space to be the parent I want to be. I want to teach you how you can too! Tune in each week to learn:*Practical tools to improve your EMDR clinical practice *How to manage what comes up for you when you're a parent who practices EMD-*How offering EMDR intensives maximize your energy and reduce your overwhelm and 1-1 client time as an EMDR therapist and a parent*How being an EMDR client has shaped my evolution as a momI can’t wait to help you create the future template for your life as a parent and as a therapist.Be sure to subscribe and follow the show wherever you listen to podcasts so you don't miss an episode.Connect with me more over on Instagram @futuretemplateparent
