I've only started doing everything myself for about 6 months now, & I had learned the importance of client referrences, etc.... It's a massive feeling of comfort for me knowing that she will be okay during her session, simply because I answered back. All it takes is a simple Yes or No on our end. Here lately, I've been getting more & more referrence checks because I've been responding... I'd rather contribute to our safety than the train wreck that could've been avoided....
I know I didn't make any of the lists, but I will!
