Have you given any more thought to DBT classes LT? I really think they would help with a lot of these issues. As for your T and the "democracy", it is ultimately his decision. Even if he wife and son want him to do something, it is his choice to make the final decision on what he is going to do. Obviously he is not going to want to cause friction with the family but again that is his choice to make. Are you scared that his family means more to him than his clients? Personally, I think everyone's family should take precedence over their job, especially since he is still able to do his job virtually. This is strange time and Covid does have the possibility to impact everyone's health so I can see how that may persuade his decision.
