Therapist Blog Challenge #4: Answer An FAQ
One quick and easy way to generate content for a blog post is to answer a frequently asked question
What questions do you get asked over and over again about your practice? The questions can be about your therapy approach, about therapy in general, or specific a question about your practice. Make a list of common questions, choose one question and write your answer...and voila! You have a new blog post.Here are a some sample questions to choose from or feel free to come up with on of your own:
How do I know if a therapist is the "right fit" for me?
Do you work with my insurance?
How do I know if I need therapy?
Is therapy confidential?
I think my partner is depressed. How do I get my partner to go and see a therapist?
My daughter is losing weight quickly. Could she have an eating disorder?
What's the difference between a therapist and a coach?
How does talking to a therapist differ from talking with a friend?
How long does therapy take?
How will I know when I'm done with therapy?
Ok, colleagues. This challenge is so easy. Let's get blogging! I'm excited to read what you come up with.Additional reminders about the 2013 blog challenge
