As helpful as therapy is, not everyone can afford it.
In fact, the vast majority of people can’t afford it.
As a result many people continue to suffer.
I’ve had a few conversations about my YouTube channel over the last week or two. Some really lovely comments – some critiques too – but every person I spoke to seemed baffled why I have so few subscribers and views.
One asked why I bothered carrying on.
Short answer, because 77 subscribers is not an insignificant number.
Also, I know about half of them. Some are friends, but I haven’t asked any of them to join because I want the numbers. They have joined because they chose to do so.
Each subscriber, and each video view, is an individual who is attempting to realise something about themselves or someone they know or love.
For me, that is the metric that matters most.
For those Who Can Afford Therapy
For those who can afford therapy or coaching the videos provide a baseline and a reference point. I often direct patients and clients to videos between sessions either to reinforce a point or an invitation, or to give them an option for deeper insight into a topic, either way, the point to make the best use of the time we are in session, the time that they are paying for. That way I can offer more value.
The same is true for those people who have yet to decide on choosing the services I provide. Being able to view the videos means that by the time they come to me they can consume and digest material in a way that cuts the amount of paid contact time they need with me – thus saving them money.
That’s why I make these videos, and that is why I continue to post them.
Finally, I heard of another young man this week who took his own life.
If you know anyone who would benefit from my videos or services please feel free to share them.
Many Thanks.
