She touches on everything from VC-backed therapy platforms to chatbot relationships and why they’re both incredibly seductive and deeply limited.The truth?

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 impactThe 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 supportConnect with Carolyn:Website: www.futuretemplateparent.com Instagram: @futuretemplateparentBook a 30 min Discovery Call: Quote: “I couldn't afford this. How could you charge something that people in your own family couldn't afford? Healthcare is inaccessible enough. Remember, we're not responsible for our broken healthcare system.” - Carolyn
