When your client books a session and doesn’t show up… ???? You know the feeling: you’ve set aside the time, prepped for the session, and then… crickets. No call, no text, just an empty spot in your schedule. ?? Instead of letting the frustration take over, here’s how to handle no-shows like a pro: ? Set clear policies – Have a cancellation/no-show policy in place and make sure clients are aware of it upfront. A fee or required deposit can encourage commitment. ?? Automate reminders – Use scheduling tools like Mynd.app to send automatic confirmations and reminders to reduce the chances of a no-show. ??♀? Reframe the moment – Take that unexpected free time to reset, tackle something productive, or just enjoy a well-earned break! Clients will be clients, but with the right systems in place, you can handle no-shows without the headache. And hey, maybe this is the universe’s way of telling you to take a breather! ??? #TherapistStruggles #PracticeHumor #MentalHealthMemes #TherapistLife #TherapistHumor
