Stay with me y'all, are you sensing a theme yet? Fun Fact About Me: I love series Insight-driven culture is everywhere—books, podcasts, courses. Many clients “know” what to do but still feel stuck. Therapy often focuses on: 👉Safety 👉Consistency 👉Relational experiences 👉Practice over time How do you explain this difference to clients? How do you approach a client that is stuck in a logic loop of explaining things away?

Two-part post.... 1) Please comment: How is everyone handling regular check-ins in their communities on Skool? Posting? Calls? Showing up daily? One of the suggestions for building community is to have a regular call. I see other groups hosting regular calls and then I wonder where everyone gets the extra time. Then I realized when you're an entrepreneur, like me and like so many of us here in Skool and real life, my schedule is what I make it. I show up when I see value in the practice Things I regularly make time for: Meditation (movement, conscious regular connection throughout the day), breathwork, yoga, tai chi, working out, self-care... and the list goes on. One of the first assignments I give to my students and clients is to make a list of 50 coping strategies, things they notice they do regularly to keep their mood up. 2) Poll: What is something you do regularly to keep your mood up?

Clients often master understanding (step one) before practicing something different (step two). Step two is slower and messier, but it’s where meaningful change happens. How do you help clients stay engaged during this phase? I will go first... I use check-ins and check-outs as a great way to informally assess clients. Additionally, these practices can be really helpful in maintaining accountability, celebrating wins, and the opportunity to adjust to make goals more attainable. The safe space to celebrate wins or acknowledge the losses gives clients the opportunity to reflect and brainstorm solutions. Acknowledging effort can make the difference between self-reflection being productive or resorting back to self-criticism, and negative self-talk loops.

Many clients arrive with strong insight into their patterns—attachment, trauma, ADHD, etc.—and still struggle to change behaviors. It’s a reminder that insight alone rarely shifts nervous system regulation. Repeated, safe relational experiences often drive real change. Discussion: How do you help clients bridge the gap between awareness and action in your practice?

“I know why I do this, but I can’t stop.” This is one of the most common refrains I hear from clients. It highlights the critical space between cognitive understanding and embodied change. Question for the community: Which interventions or modalities have you found most effective in supporting clients to move from insight to practice?
