Episode #793: Treating Terminal Illness

In today's episode, I chat with Abundance Party member Tessa about niching into end of life and terminal illness work as an older therapist. We talk through how to market a niche you didn't plan for, why hospice and oncologists can be both competitors and referral sources, how to find a collaborator to handle grief work with family members so you can stay in your lane, and the annoying-but-necessary reality of promoting a group when you're teaching other therapists how to run one. Tessa also opens up about what it's like to age alongside your clients, and we get into why that's an asset, not a liability, in this field.  Sponsored by Paubox & TherapyNotes®.
