About this listen

Many clients take the first step to see a psychotherapist and do not return after the first session. Why do people disengage so early, when we have so much to offer? One of the key reasons is that we are too focused on conducting an intake instead of finding a way to give.

We have to find ways to deepen the engagement with our clients right from the first session of therapy.

The First Kiss is specifically for the discerning psychotherapist who is willing to challenge the status quo of our profession in the way we conduct our first sessions.

At the forefront of coaching psychotherapists and agencies in their professional development, psychologist and trainer Daryl Chow, MA, PhD (Psych) provides compelling applicable ways to increase your impact clients, so as to reduce dropouts and achieve better outcomes.

By following the concepts in this book, you will also develop a perennial framework to sustain your lifelong development plan in improving your first sessions and beyond.

Must read for Trainee Counsellors

A well thought out book. Full of simple and practical guidance to help counsellors or psychotherapists in our initial therapy sessions reminding us to prioritise our clients needs. Daryl is clearly a dedicated conscientious workaholic who fits a lot into a day.

Highly recommended for psychologists!

I highly recommend this book for psychologists, both experienced and those that are in training! It's a short and easy listen, very actionable as well: I couldn't wait to get back to work to try the new things I learned. If you're interested in improving your first session (or any session for that matter), don't hesitate and get this audiobook! I'm going to pick up a paper copy to use as a quick reference guide.
