In Part 3 of our Breaking Up with a Client series, Bethany and Danielle dive into the emotional and ethical realities of ending client care. We share real-world scripts, talk through burnout and scope of practice, and explore how these conversations—while uncomfortable—can be a turning point in the therapeutic relationship. Whether you’re ending care or resetting boundaries, this episode will help you do it with clarity and compassion.

About the co-hosts:

Bethany Wheeler and Danielle Southern are both weight-inclusive registered dietitians in outpatient settings and each own a private nutrition therapy practice. They have known each other since 2012 when Danielle reached out to Bethany for guidance on how to become a registered dietitian herself. Since then, Bethany has mentored Danielle through her entire journey to become a dietitian. They both know and value the importance of registered dietitians having professional support and mentorship in their career and want to help make the journey for future dietitians a bit easier and more successful. Each week they will be taking on a topic that dietitians don't traditionally learn about in their university programs or internships, but is essential to a career as a dietitian. In other words, they'll be talking about all the stuff you wish you would have learned in school/internship, but didn't.
