| 0:00.0 | So, a listener emailed me and told me about how her therapist had touched her in several |
| 0:05.7 | sessions and how this made her feel uncomfortable, so she terminated the therapy with that therapist. |
| 0:13.3 | And Paul and I made a patron exclusive episode about that email and about touching in therapy |
| 0:18.9 | in general. |
| 0:20.5 | That episode is called A Therapist Kisses A Client, A Therapist Kisses His Client. |
| 0:28.5 | Later, the woman who emailed us, she contacted me and hired me as a consultant for this situation. |
