Yet we know from her comments and communications on Twitter that her “goal in therapy is to create a safe, supportive environment….” To encourage that feeling of safety and home, her office is “shoes-optional.”

Additionally she blogs . This week, our chat will focus on one of her recent posts, Privilege and Stigma in Health, Revisited .
