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
