| 0:00.0 | So Bob, I have an interesting juicy ethics case sent to me by my malpractice insurance, |
| 0:05.8 | HPSO, and I thought, well, maybe I'll talk about this with Rebecca, but this one |
| 0:12.1 | involves something that you know about, so let's get into it, what do you say? |
| 0:15.7 | Is it about some ethical violation that I'm familiar with because I did it? |
| 0:19.6 | No, it has to do with DBT. |
| 0:22.4 | Oh, okay. |
| 0:23.2 | So again, my malpractice insurance, HPSO, sends out these briefs as a way of helping us |
| 0:32.0 | as insured to manage our risks so that we don't harm ourselves by committing ethical violations, |

| 1:24.2 | with three years of experience, so this chiming-in meaning that they're not a social worker or |
| 1:30.0 | a marriage of having a therapist or a psychologist. |
| 1:33.0 | The counselor had recently begun working as a solo practitioner when she started treating a client, |
| 1:39.4 | a woman in her 20s, so we have a mental health counselor like yourself, Bob, |
| 1:44.7 | three years experience, which is unlike you, I was recently thinking we're getting into our |
| 1:50.3 | upper 20s years because we graduated in 97, but really we started practicing in 96 as interns, |
