Authenticity in Therapy: Sarah Buino's Journey on Mental Health News Radio
We can't opt out because then we're just hurting people, and I'm very, very serious about that. I think it's a good thing that those two have. And as far as training goes, we're still trained to be very cautious about self-disclosure, and I think rightly so.
