A therapist turned “Marketer for Therapists” who unselfishly promotes people and the services they offer. As I see it, David’s plan has 5 steps – he:
1. Begins with an invitation to a seminar
2. Offers reasons for thinking differently about the practice of therapy
3.Provides examples of others who have gone ahead and ventured out into the wild
4. Gives us tools to use
5. Acknowledges efforts when we actually go for it

Most marketers stop at #4 but David does not. He incorporates a bit of gold into his plan…the element any good therapist knows – the value of acknowledgment!

It is always exciting for me to learn more about how mental health is leveraging technologies for the better. That video was pretty amazing, it gave me chills to see the impact of social media on how everyone is connecting with the world. You have inspired me to make a similar post on my own site, so thank you! I think that it's so important for professionals to realize the potential of using technology to share their important work! David,
