How I Handle People Calling Me a Liar on the Internet

Business Of Therapy

Something that I get asked a LOT from other therapists is how to handle negative comments online.

If you’ve been online for any time at all, you’ve probably dealt with some kind of negativity. I know it can feel like your worst nightmare when you have trolls coming for you in the comments section.

It really sucks - nobody wants OR deserves to be put on blast like that!

But...I really want to help you understand how common this is, and what to do if/when it happens to you.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why getting negative comments online doesn’t happen as often as you think
• One of my biggest fears about posting content online
• My *only* two @sitwithkelly Instagram posts that received negative comments
• Types of posts that spark more negativity on my @businessoftherapy Instagram page
• What you can do when you get negative comments on Instagram
