If you work in the healing arts seeing clients, sometimes you can feel like the people you’re working with aren’t making “enough” progress. Then that makes you wonder if you’re making a positive impact and doing a good job.

As a healer, we play pivotal roles in the journeys of the folks we work with, but sometimes it can be hard for us to trust our work when we don’t hear from a client again. How do we reconcile that?

In this video, I share a personal story from my 40^th birthday trip to Sedona that was an excellent metaphor for the work we do as healers. I share advice on how to process when a client quits, takes too long, or returns to their old habits. Because, let’s face it, these things do happen, but it doesn’t mean that your work together wasn’t meaningful.
