Reminder that disabled people have no obligation to consume assisted dying media. You don’t have to read posts about how someone would kill themselves if they were like you. You have no duty to be polite when they say we cost too much. Your mental health matters. Your life does too.

Couples therapy is not exclusively about saving marriages. It is about providing a space for both parties to help them understand what has happened in the relationship. I work with people who know they cannot be together, but want to ensure that they can work together to parent their children.

Why Do People Cry? Here’s What We Know.
