In this episode, Tiffany challenges therapists to confront an uncomfortable truth: undercharging for services doesn’t just impact your own financial wellbeing — it forces your children to subsidize your client’s therapy.
Through real-world examples and calculations, Tiffany demonstrates how the seemingly noble act of keeping fees low can perpetuate generational patterns of financial sacrifice.
In this episode, Tiffany covers:
The Hidden Cost of Undercharging: How the lost income from charging less directly impacts your children’s financial future;
The Martyr Mindset: Breaking down the self-sacrificing mentality that leads therapists to prioritize client affordability over their own family’s financial security;
Reframing Fee Increases: Why raising your rates isn’t about greed, but about creating policies that demonstrate to your children that their financial future matters;
Creating Generational Change: How setting appropriate fees can break the cycle of financial martyrdom and teach your children to value themselves.
