Summary
Hey, friends! I hope you're having a great week. This is a very interesting episode with the following questions:
- I am attracted to my therapist and saw her on a non-traditional dating app. When I brought this up, she refused to talk about it. What should I do?
- How should cannabis use disorders be handled when there are also mental health issues?
As always, you can send me your questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find the show notes at http://duffthepsych.com/episode293

| 0:23.4 | I want to simultaneously encourage you to be brave and consuming difficult |
| 0:27.6 | content but also respect and recognize your limitations. So please use your best |
| 0:32.2 | judgment. I will never be offended if you need to skip a question or an episode entirely, but feel free to feel it out, check out the episode and just see what happens. If you need to skip, that's okay, but you know, feel free to give it a shot first. |
