Opportunity Cost

There are a lot of different treatment options in our profession, and let’s face it, often the experts don’t even agree. Added to that, every treatment choice comes with an opportunity cost. 

I get it. It’s valuable to have different treatment approaches, BUT when it comes to helping our clients learn to make and reciprocate eye contact, I’m a dyed-in-the-wool believer. I’m such a firm believer that I can’t stay silent when it’s suggested that eye contact can hurt, rather than help, our clients. 

This episode explores 

1. the opportunity cost of not working on eye contact, and 
2. the unexpected benefits of treating eye contact
3. how eye contact can help our clients develop a growth mindset
