Hi everyone, I’d love your honest take on an email I just wrote. Please roast it. The context: This is a promo email for a client who is a Consultant Clinical Psychologist. He’s been invited by NWG to speak at a one-hour webinar next week. The email teaches one practical idea through a real conversation he had with a 16-year-old, then invites readers to the webinar. I kept his industry terminology on purpose (like “stress response,” “dysregulated,” “down-regulate,” and “validation”), so please flag anything that feels unclear for the reader, but don’t worry about the terms themselves. The goal: Get readers to click and join the NWG webinar. Thank you! The webinar topic: Therapeutic ideas and skills for workers with a relational role. This session gives practitioners a set of practical, evidence-based therapeutic ideas and techniques to add to their toolbox. --- Subject line: Can you help without being a therapist? Preview line: One practical therapeutic idea you can use tomorrow. What if I told you that you don’t need to be a therapist to make a therapeutic impact? Well, you don’t. You just need a few simple, practical therapeutic ideas and skills that you can start using the very next day. I’ve taught these ideas to people who aren’t therapists and received 100% satisfaction ratings for how easy they were to understand and apply. Let me give you a real example of how this works in practice. I was meeting a 16-year-old for the first time. Here’s how our conversation went (WL is me, and YP is the young person). WL: “So I’m going to make some notes as we go along today, so I can remember what we covered next time. I’ll give you a copy too, so you can remember as well.” YP (standing up and pointing aggressively): “You think I’m daft and won’t remember anything. You think I’m an idiot.” WL: “Wow, you seem pretty angry! Are you worried that I’ve got low expectations of you?” YP: “Yeah, everyone talks down to me because I’m struggling and I can’t fit in.”
