When is it time for a dietitian to let go of a client—and how do you do it ethically? In this candid episode of The MENTORD Podcast, Bethany and Danielle tackle one of the most challenging parts of dietetic practice: ending therapeutic relationships.
Through personal stories and professional insights, they unpack why letting go doesn’t always mean failure—it can be the most ethical, compassionate, and clinically appropriate choice for both client and provider. You’ll walk away with a clearer understanding of how to recognize boundaries, assess client needs, and approach these conversations with professionalism and care.
