Brace yourself. This episode is a truth bomb that may rattle your nervous system, piss you offâor finally give you the relief you didnât know you needed.
Tiffany makes the bold, controversial claim:
Only rich therapists should offer low-fee therapy.
If youâre not independently wealthy, subsidizing your clientsâ care is costing you your body, your relationships, your clinical presence, and your long-term financial health.
This isnât a hot takeâitâs a hard truth.
And in this episode, Tiffany breaks it down piece by piece so you can finally stop blaming yourself for being burned out, broke, and overwhelmed.
In this episode, youâll hear:
-
Why real therapy (the kind that changes generational systems) requires time, money, and energy;
-
What you actually need in order to hold space for deep, paradigm-shifting work;
-
Why therapists doing low-fee work are either wealthy, new to the fieldâor silently falling apart;
-
How the system benefits from your exhaustionâand why itâs time to opt out;
-
What it looks like to build a practice that actually supports you emotionally, financially, and physically.
This is not your responsibility.
And if youâre not rich, you literally canât afford to keep sacrificing yourself.
