Dr. Margolis: Therapy can become unhelpful when a patient has achieved all their therapy goals or doesn't have any more relevant symptoms to work on. A good, ethically appropriate legit therapist should say to a client, hey, I'm happy to see you every week but I'm wondering if our sessions are still helpful to you. But again, probably not the case with your daughter.

- You're 35 and you've never had sex. How do you disclose your virginity during courtship with a potential partner without scaring them off and ensuring the continuation of this unfortunate trend?
- Should you maintain a friendship with your college buddies whose partners alienate your wife? They acknowledge the issue but don't seem to care.
- You support your daughter's use of therapy, but you wonder if maybe weekly appointments, emergency sessions, and direct access to her therapist might be bordering on excessive. Can therapy be addictive? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!]
- Your ex-wife endured you at your worst, and you'd like to help her financially now that you're successful on multiple fronts. Is this appropriate, or should you consider doing so anonymously?
- After working through the pandemic as a registered nurse pulling 10-12 hour shifts seven days a week, you're finding it difficult to reintegrate into a society that feels like it's moved on and left you behind. How can you find your place again?
