Site build — July 31, 2026 (4 files changed)

Replace each file’s ENTIRE contents in the GitHub web editor with the version in this folder. Commit all four together, then hit “Sync now” on the project’s GitHub connector so Claude’s copy catches up.

Files

  1. _config.yml — adds waitlist_mode: false and waitlist_url to the openings: section, with comments documenting the three states. Your live values are preserved exactly: as-of July 27th, show_public: true, all four slots, and the two commented-out lines (Russ/Margaret + Wednesday). ⚠️ Paste in the GitHub web editor only — smart quotes from Word/Notes break the build.

  2. _includes/openings_block.html — three-state rendering:
    • waitlist_mode false → today’s behavior, unchanged.
    • waitlist_mode true + slots listed → slot list as normal, plus a “Don’t see a time that fits? Join my waitlist” block under it (your current low-openings situation).
    • waitlist_mode true + slots empty (or all commented out) → full state: no list, prose disclosure (fees, private pay, in person), keep-looking permission, “Join the waitlist” button, phone fallback. The button points at the SimplePractice contact widget, not the scheduler.

  3. openings.html — the page lede now adapts: in the full state it no longer promises “the list below shows the ongoing slots” (there is no list); it explains the waitlist instead. All other states unchanged.

  4. about.html — Mindful Self-Compassion removed from Training & methods. Removal only; Somatic Experiencing stays off the site per the surface rule.

How to run your current situation (few openings, not advertising)

Set waitlist_mode: true and keep editing as_of + slots weekly as usual. The slot list keeps rendering, with the waitlist path underneath for anyone the four times don’t fit.

When genuinely full

Comment out or delete every slot line (waitlist_mode stays true) — the page converts to the full/waitlist state on the next build. Also set show_public: false so the “Now booking” hero pointer doesn’t advertise openings you don’t have.

All external links site-wide already carried target=”_blank” rel=”noopener” (booking buttons, Yelp/Google, LinkedIn, the About methods list). No other files needed changes; the new waitlist buttons include it.

Still your side (not in this build)
