## Resource

Are you exhausting yourself being the fixer for every client that comes through your door? Because there's a moment in every clinical relationship where your prescription stops being enough and it becomes all about their change. Most of us cross that line without even realising it. In this episode I'm talking about what it actually looks like to coach your clients, not as a life coach, but as the clinician you already are. The shifts are smaller than you think and the results speak for themselves. We get into the five client themes I see come up time and time again and the simple language shifts that hand the power back to your client. There's plenty more to dig into. Inside the Strategy Lab there's a full workbook covering all five themes, the trigger questions, boundary scripts and more.
