She’s scared for her own health, and worried about the future of her friendship. Guest therapist Miriam Klein discuss how to navigate this incredibly difficult situation.
Honesty is Key
If you can’t safely be a surrogate, Miriam stresses the importance of being honest with your friend – even if it’s a hard conversation.

It’s okay to feel guilt or sadness about the situation. Miriam suggests allowing yourself time to process these emotions.
