| 0:00.0 | So Bob, you came over to the house, the dogs mulled you, and then we had a brief conversation, |
| 0:05.7 | or a kind of a longer conversation about our childhood and teenage years. It was interesting |
| 0:11.5 | to share and to learn things about each other that were interesting about our teenage personalities, |
| 0:20.4 | some alarming things, some some normal things, some things we share in common. Yeah, |
| 0:25.9 | let's answer some emails, what do you say? Yep. Priscilla from Brazil, she says, |
| 0:30.2 | I was wondering, what are your thoughts on talking about money with your clients? It's often a |
| 0:35.6 | sensitive subject, so I was wondering, what are your thoughts on that? For example, when there |
| 0:40.3 | is a financial struggle, and the client asks for a discount, or when the client is usually late with |
| 0:45.4 | a payment, or some other situation, Bob, what do you think? Well, this does not come up for me. |
| 0:52.8 | I suppose I'm lucky in that the people that I see can afford to pay me. If they couldn't, |
| 0:59.2 | I imagine they would stop coming. I've gotten smart in my old age, and that I don't let clients |
| 1:06.6 | carry, I don't carry credit for clients ever. But before did you? I did, and I got burned by it. |
| 1:13.4 | Meaning that a client might not pay that day, and they might build up a balance. They owe you. |
| 1:21.6 | And then what would happen sometimes? Well, I only done it a couple of times when I was |
| 1:28.3 | running the DBT class, occasionally, I'd extend credit, because that was more like paying tuition, |
| 1:33.9 | and sometimes people didn't have the money at the beginning of the thing, and so I would take a |
| 1:37.5 | risk and extend credit to them. And I never got burned there, but I did get burned early in my |
| 1:42.4 | career when I was seeing somebody individually. I had a pretty low rate, and they built up a $1,500 |
| 1:47.6 | balance, and they promised to pay me, and I know that them not paying me wasn't nefarious, |
| 1:51.5 | or dishonorable, or anything, but they never did. I've been so long, I can't remember how |
| 1:58.4 | therapy stopped. I think they moved away. But that was just a mistake of a boundary mistake. |
| 2:04.4 | I wasn't doing that person any favors by ignoring my own limit, and I'm thinking now about, |
