I've noticed this pattern every single year in private practice. I've gotten to the point where all the stuff that I do once a year that's a pain in the ass I'm trying to position in August cause I have much more free time this month.
So I typically have too many people begging to see me, but in August about 70% of my available schedule is filled.
I don't know why this happens but this is my speculation. Those on summer break had time to wind-down. Those with seasonal affective disorder have now soaked up a few months of sunlight. The sunlight likely helped raise Vitamin D levels. Those are my only theories.
All of the psychotherapists I know tell me same thing. August-business drops but it's back up by September.
Anything like this happening to you?
