Many therapists feel they must hide themselves from their clients in order to be effective. They wonder how they can “be real” with their clients to deepen the therapeutic relationship, while also holding clear boundaries needed for treatment to be effective. In this workshop, we’ll explore how therapists can be their authentic selves, both online and in person, while maintaining ethical standards that protect both you and your clients. You’ll discover: 

  • A model for how to show up authentically and use self-disclosure appropriately

  • Crucial countertransference pitfalls with clients that can rupture the therapeutic alliance 

Here's What You'll Learn

  • The four main types of therapist self-disclosure (TSD). 
  • What are your tendencies of TSD orientation 
  • How to develop a usable plan for deciding on self-disclosure in sessions 
  • The three reasons why boundary issues are inherent in TSD via social media. 
  • Assess your own social media 
  • The benefits of self disclosure 
  • The three crucial countertransference pitfalls
