3 Things to Do Instead of Overgiving
Trying to prove your value by giving clients everything up front?
Don’t.
Your power isn’t in how much you say — it’s in how deeply they feel seen.
Here’s what to do instead:
🔹 1. Hold the Pause
Let silence do some of the work. Slowing down signals safety to the nervous system.
Sometimes, what your client doesn’t say reveals more than what they do.
🔹 2. Reflect What You See
Instead of rushing to solve, mirror back a key phrase they used. “Did you notice you said, ‘I’ve always had to do it alone’?”
That one reflection can open doors faster than a full action plan.
🔹 3. Frame the Journey
Let them know you’re walking with them — and that there’s a process:
“This session is about understanding your starting point. From here, we’ll grow layer by layer.”
