A heavy burden GC Chat: A Genetic Counselling Podcast

**Trigger warning: the new case presented today (from 16:40) may be distressing to some listeners as the case involves issues of domestic violence, rape and incest. Please consider this before deciding whether or not to listen.**
Welcome back. We hope you had a nice break.  In this episode, we begin by discussing the counselling issues and interventions raised in episode 2: Adding value.
We’ll then present this week’s case, where our guest genetic counsellor discusses a case that weighed heavily for both her and the client.
