    The Democrats won’t let Hillary have the opportunity to lose for them again.

    She definitely is itching to run, though. She never got over her historic loss.

    Reb Eliezer, if Hechsher X was actually around, would your statement be Loshon Hora or would it be proper for you to say that l’toeles?

    Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx used to be mostly farmland with lots of wide open spaces, wooded areas, much fewer people. Now it has all these big building with lots of people after they became “over-developed”.

    Some people who lived in old Manhattan and Brooklyn also complained about its over-development.

    That’s the normal course of life with natural population growth requiring the building up of rural areas into urban areas.

    Democrat Congresspeople in both the Senate and in the House certainly have voted to not recognize the Republican president who won the electoral college in election years prior to 2016.

    boruchbrown: Having a license, even with all the regulatory roadblocks and processes, is no heter to have Yichud.

    Syag, There’s no evidence that licensed therapists commit less abuse than unlicensed therapists.

    My little sleep is taken in catnaps. As I’m learning I sometimes doze off. I usually wake a litter bit later and continue learning where I left off.

    My earlier comment was an approximation of my average total sleep time per day.

    TLIK: That seems reasonable. Especially if the pop-in always occurs at a random time during every (opposite gender) session.

    I’d still say it much preferable to use a same gender therapist. But if that’s impossible, the setup you describe seems sufficient.

    Unfortunately I don’t think most therapists use what your friend does.

    So we are back to square one: there appears to be no heter for a therapist and patient to have Yichud. Often there’s no one else in the waiting room; and even if there is a secretary or another patient, everyone is aware that no one may enter the closed (even if not locked) door with the therapist and opposite gender patient.

    I’d also like to thank n0m for having accepted (based on his Shtika K’hodaah) my last comment on this thread in our discussion of a Titanic-like situation. N0m, if you at any time in the future have any follow up questions or comments on that discussion, please start a new thread with a proper descriptive title (rather than this off-topic tangent) so that I’ll notice your question or comment, that I’ll likely miss noticing in this thread.

    Rebbe Meir was correct and proper for testing Bruria (a test that she failed.) The Gemorah is nothing but complimentary of Rebbe Meir. If there had been any reason to be critical of Rebbe Meir for, the Gemorah would have voiced such criticism. There was none.

    “and other members of staff may enter at any time.”

    That could work by a physical doctor. But a therapist generally don’t allow anyone to enter the room with them patient in therapy.

    In fact, many of the above guidelines work with a physician but are inapplicable by a therapists where often there usually isn’t even anyone in the waiting room. And even if there is a secretary or someone, they know they cannot enter the room with the therapist and the patient.

    If people know they are not permitted to enter the room, the door being unlocked does not change the fact that it is still Yichud.

    N0m: You’re suggesting a therapist see an opposite gender patient behind closed doors, that the expectation is no one else will open even if unlocked?

    That is Yichud.

    After following my prescription from my last comment, Republicans should double the size of the federal circuit courts, triple the size of the Appeals Courts and enlarge the Supreme Court to 15 members. Then fill all those hundreds of new judicial positions in quick roll-call votes in the Senate, completed all within a couple of weeks with any Democrat obstruction quickly overruled by the newly appointed Republican Senate parliamentarian.

    N0m: An unlocked door that everyone knows you may not enter anyways, barring an emergency, does not alleviate the fact that it is still Yichud. Even if there’s someone in the waiting room. And if there’s no one else there, you’re doubly in violation.
