Hey, fellow therapists! 🌟 Welcome to 'Love, Happiness, and Success for Therapists,' the podcast that's here to help you level up your career and life. As therapists, we're the ones who create a space for others to grow and connect, but I believe it's high time we started doing the same for ourselves. The world needs us! But without care and support, opportunities to grow, and a commitment to your own well-being, we become depleted... even burned out. Therapists need to be recognized, and deserve love and care too! I'm your host, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby, fellow therapist, and founder of Growing Self Counseling and Coaching, and I'm thrilled to be your guide on this journey. We've chosen a profession that's both demanding and incredibly rewarding. We're the healers, the empathetic hearts, the change-makers who make the world a better place. But let's be real—the world often forgets to give us the support and care we need. Well, that's about to change! Every week, join me as we dive into topics that matter to you and your clients. You'll get real-world strategies that will not only supercharge your therapy practice but also help you create the love and happiness you've been craving while achieving the success you've always envisioned. 'Love, Happiness, and Success for Therapists,' is here to be your trusted ally, and partner in your personal and professional growth. I'm bringing you a treasure trove of enlightening podcasts, and invaluable resources that will nourish your mind, heart, and soul. You've dedicated yourself to helping others; now it's time to receive the support and strategies you deserve. Get ready to soar, my friends! 🌱💕

This episode originally aired on February 14, 2024 (Episode 5), and we’re bringing it back because ghosting is one of those challenges every therapist encounters at some point in their career. It’s an important conversation worth revisiting, both for the insight it offers and the reminder that you’re not alone in navigating it.
Have you ever been ghosted by a therapy client? This unfortunate experience is something that every therapist goes through eventually. And just like in any other relationship, when a therapy client ghosts, it can leave you feeling a little haunted.
You might wonder if it was something you said, or worry that your therapy client is not okay. Most of all, you’ll be asking yourself — How can I avoid this kind of thing in the future?
If you’ve been here before, then this episode is for you! We’re talking about why therapy clients ghost, how to process it when a client stops coming to therapy without saying goodbye, and how you can use this experience to grow, personally and professionally.
Episode Breakdown:
00:00 Why Therapy Clients Ghost
01:15 The Role of Trust in Building Strong Client Relationships
04:49 Creating Emotional Safety and Open Communication in Sessions
07:20 Recognizing Relational Patterns That Lead to Ghosting
10:06 When Missteps and Ruptures Cause Clients to Leave
12:05 The Importance of Consultation and Professional Support
14:05 Why Clients Feel Stuck and How to Re-Engage Them
18:32 Therapy Limitations and the Shift Toward Coaching
20:30 Coaching vs. Traditional Therapy: What Clinicians Need to Know
24:15 Free Resources and Growth Opportunities for Therapists
As you’re listening, remember you don’t have to navigate these challenges alone. My Free CEU Trainings For Therapists is always available with on-demand resources designed to support both your clinical work and your personal wellbeing. You can explore it anytime, and if we’re not yet connected on LinkedIn, let’s change that. It’s one of my favorite spaces to continue these conversations with colleagues.
And since this podcast is created with you in mind, I’d love to know what’s on your heart. What questions do you have, what topics do you want me to unpack in future episodes? Let’s talk! Share your thoughts with me, and if you know another therapist who would benefit from this conversation, send them this episode so our community of support keeps growing.
xoxo,
Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
