Episode 4: Paying for More Clinical Trainings Won’t Help Your EMDR Business

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Liberated Trauma Therapists Club! In this episode, I’m busting one of the biggest myths in the therapy world: the idea that if we keep adding more clinical trainings, clients will come flooding in. Like many of you, I’ve invested heavily in training, thinking it would grow my business. But I discovered the hard way that clinical knowledge alone doesn’t attract premium-fee clients—marketing does.

I’m sharing how my cash flow crisis pushed me to re-evaluate where I was spending my money and why I decided to focus on regular EMDR consultation instead of endless trainings. This shift not only improved my practice but also made my business sustainable. If you’re feeling burnt out or worried about finances despite all your training, this episode is for you.

Key Takeaways

• Why clinical training alone won’t drive your business growth.
• How regular EMDR consultation helped me hone my skills more effectively.
• The power of marketing and visibility in building a premium-fee private practice.
