Summary
Hello, friends! Short and sweet Q&A episode here. Before jumping into the questions, I share a couple strategies that are working well for me right now. Then, I cover the following questions:
- As a teenager, will my therapist have to report if I tell them about my parents abusing me?
- I am a therapist and found a new position that will allow me to make a better living, but it means my fees will increase. How can I deal with this?
As always, you can send me questions to duffthepsych@gmail.com and find the show notes for this episode at http://duffthepsych.com/episode341
