"At what point is it considered an eating disorder?" - AKA 118

Описание: Ask Kati Anything ep. 118 | Your mental health podcast, with Kati Morton, LMFT

7. What is your advice for highly sensitive people who would like to become a therapist? It seems like we might be more affected by hearing traumatic stories. How can we avoid this?
