potential clients.. If you screen well, these acquaintances should not appear at your door.

never blur or hide your face in your ads.  

Well maybe your mom's former boyfriend would still go through with it, but in general, if I find that I know a provider in real life, I stay clear.

Not the clients fault at all, I felt too terrible to turn him away so i did the session to the best of my ability but it was very, very difficult because I still have PTSD from my ex
