Can someone who was abused during involuntary commitment receive anonymous therapy to work through their trauma without the therapist knowing their identity or reporting them to the police if they disclose suicidal thoughts? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!]
How do you politely (and effectively) get it through your annoying ex-employee's skull that he no longer works for you and shouldn't show up to your wine bar six days a week?
