42. Marijuana Use Before Therapy?; Burned Out Therapist?; Holiday Break

 Krystal’s therapist would prefer she not use marijuana before a session even though she thinks it would be helpful to loosen her "emotional logjam". 

Michael (17:02) questions his decision to be a therapist and whether he is actually helping anyone. We discuss possible burnout and steps Michael could consider before making any major career changes. 

We have an update from Rachel from episode 40 (29:18) who feels bad she didn't end her relationship with her therapist sooner. 

Lastly, Christopher (34:00) is a therapist who wonders if we handle vacations around the winter holidays differently. 

If you have questions or feedback please send a message (voicemail or email) on our website.
