I get that concern. I'm working under the assumption that those protections are already in place; that the people listening are the kind of therapists we trust. It's a valid concern that a lot of wonderful male-identified therapists have. After telling a few great, feminist, male providers I know about the conversation after we recorded, they were eager to hear it. Their main concern, like Cody's, is that they want to help the teens and parents feel safe so they can do their great work.
