A Therapist's Professional Will™ spells out your wishes for the continuing care of your patients in your absence.  The concept resonates with helping professionals, but the prospect of putting one in place is daunting.  By completing such a will you will have done everything possible to assure the continuity of care for your patients, will have given yourself peace of mind and reduced the trauma for family and friends.  This keynote presentation gives you the tools to start your own Therapist's Professional Will.
