What if their provider disagrees with their choice? What if WE, as a therapist, disagree?  In this interview, Diane breaks down the complexity of medical decision-making and the importance of supporting client/patient autonomy using helpful case examples and her own lived experience.  Interview with Elizabeth Irias, LMFT.
