#33 On Neutrality & Sensitive topics

Dear Listeners,
In this episode, your hosts engage in a discussion on how to think about a required neutrality and the inevitable opinions a psychoanalyst is going to have on certain topics. The discussion might sound less directed as usual because it was so.
Thank you for listening.
