Studies show that the number one indicator of success in therapy is the relationship between the client and therapist. Rod understands this. In order to create great working relationships, Rod writes post session letters to his clients. In these letters, Rod reviews thoughts from the last session, reminds clients of any “homework,” and shares any insights that Rod has had since the session. The majority of Rod’s clients report that these letters are extremely helpful as they work to create clarity and insight in regard to decisions that they need to make in order to improve their lives.
