About this listen

The go-to podcast for EMDR therapists who want to work fewer hours, make more money and have a better work/life balance.

Are you an EMDR therapist feeling overwhelmed by the one-to-one client model? Your caseload is packed and the lack of flexibility in your practice often leads to burnout and resentment because you can't be the parent or the therapist you really want to be.

I'm here to tell you there's a different way to run your practice.

And you're in the right place if you want to learn more about EMDR intensives and how to implement them so can build a practice that suits your family life and supports you in being a therapist for the long term.

Welcome to the Future Template Parent podcast! I'm your host, Carolyn Solo LCSW, EMDR consultant, business coach, and mom to a neurodivergent six year old, a four year old and one year old. I started offering EMDR intensives in 2022 after becoming burnt out from the grind of week-to-week sessions. Managing a caseload of 20+ clients every week had a huge impact on my ability to be present for my family and I struggled to take breaks or days off because I was worried about letting my clients down.

I knew something had to change.

EMDR intensives (or the Disney Fast Pass of Therapy as I like to call them) have transformed my entire business model.

I now offer EMDR intensives almost exclusively in my practice, making significantly more money and working fewer clinical hours. My clients get better results, spend less time in therapy and I have more space to be the parent I want to be.

I want to teach you how you can too!

Tune in each week to learn:

- Practical tools to improve your EMDR clinical practice
- How to manage what comes up for you when you're a parent who practices EMD
- How offering EMDR intensives maximize your energy and reduce your overwhelm and 1-1 client time as an EMDR therapist and a parent
- How being an EMDR client has shaped my evolution as a mom


I can’t wait to help you create the future template for your life as a parent and as a therapist.

    “You know, because of what these non-human therapy options can offer, people are going to start looking for something different, something better, something unique, •something transformative that CHATGPT cannot offer and therapy incentives are one of those things, right? Think about the healing experience. you are offering to clients and there's no way that that can be replicated in the near future" - Carolyn

    “And we have lots of people interested in offering intensive network practices. But it can feel daunting when you have an insurance to protect this or insurance either through out of network or just through going to exclusively, how do you make sense of that” - Carolyn

    Therapist Money Mindset: What If They Think You Charge Too Much? [Episode 106]

    Send me a text with your biggest takeaway!

    Welcome back for another episode of the Future Template Parent Podcast! I am your host, Carolyn Solo. In this episode, I’m digging into a common fear that so many therapists carry but rarely talk about out loud: the fear of being judged for your fees. Especially when offering high-ticket services like EMDR intensives, pricing can feel fraught with guilt, imposter syndrome, and pressure from family, friends, or even the broader mental health field.


    Topics covered:

    • The fear of judgment therapists face when charging higher fees.
    • Understanding your money stories and their impact
    • The role imposter syndrome plays in setting sustainable therapy fees.
    • Ways to navigate judgment from friends, family, or peers who “don’t get it”
    • Why identifying your “why” helps ground your pricing with integrity
    • Tips on setting boundaries and seeking support
