Relief for the Emotional Side of Legal Work
Your clients get the space to talk through their emotions
so you can focus on strategy and results.
You already carry the legal load.
Let HOLD handle the emotional weight—so you can do the work you love without burnout.
Is Client Emotion Taking Over Your Casework?
Legal matters are rarely just legal. When clients are overwhelmed, anxious, or spiraling, the emotional weight often lands on you. The after-hours emails, long phone calls, and emotional unloading aren’t part of your retainer—but they’re eating up your time and energy anyway.
Consider this real example from a burned-out attorney:
"I responded to 86 emails from a client over a 9-month period during her divorce. She won custody, assets, alimony, the works. Then she left a review that said, 'She was good in court but communication with her is nearly impossible.' I don’t know what you people want from me."
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
You’ve done the legal heavy lifting, but the emotional labor?
That’s where we come in.
How to Redirect Without Losing Trust
Say this to support your client—without shouldering the emotional weight yourself:
“I can hear how heavy this feels—and it matters. HOLD gives you space to talk with someone trained to support emotional overwhelm. It’s not therapy—it’s focused, compassionate listening. I’ve included three sessions in your fee because I know how much this helps. Same-day or next-day appointments are often available.”
