Current T did chat rather amicably with me for the better part of a session on the implications of that line from cummings - 'Unbeing dead isn't being alive'.
Actually the psychiatrist more or less said it was a choice in her view. And as she's the one with the malpractice insurance, I'm not sure about a party line.

Do therapists have malpractice insurance? I mean, I assume anyone can get it if they pay for it, but do therapists commonly use it? (I guess I mean solo or private practitioners here.)
Thanks for this!
