Episode #804: How Solo Therapists Can Actually Take Two Weeks Off
Episode 804
Friday, 23 October, 2026

You know that feeling when you want two full weeks completely offline but the logistics feel impossible, who covers crisis calls, how do you tell clients without destabilizing them? Today I'm back with Rebecca Smith, my Limitless Practice grad with the premium fee private pay practice in New Orleans, to get into exactly that. We talk about why the fear of leaving usually isn't based on the reality of your actual caseload, how to time treatment so you're not cracking someone open right before you disappear, & why putting an out of office responder with crisis line info is enough, you don't owe clients access to you on vacation. Rebecca shares how she's left for maternity leave & designated a local friend as backup & never once needed it, & we get honest about the real reason this feels so hard: it's not about protecting your clients, it's about protecting yourself & your vacation. We close out talking about why your clients can sit with discomfort just fine & why two weeks fully unplugged is not just doable, it's ethical. Sponsored by TherapyNotes®: Looking to switch EHRs?
