Not so long ago, therapists' self-disclosure was a clinical taboo. But in this more egalitarian age of therapy, many clinicians share their own experiences with clients in the hopes of demystifying therapy and reducing the power differential with their clients. Yet disclosures have the potential to both heal and harm. In this experiential workshop, participants will learn under what circumstances therapist transparency is legitimate and useful and when it carries real risks, including interrupting the flow and tone of therapy, crossing established boundaries, and triggering a client's fear that the therapist isn't "there" for her. Participants will come away with 10 guidelines for making self-disclosure a safe, clinically helpful part of the therapeutic process. Note: this workshop fulfills many state board requirements for training in ethics and risk management.
