(HS Millner 150062 2025) Therapists in Therapy: Confidentiality, Dual Relationships, Self-Disclosure & Other Ethical Issues

Course overview

Many therapists are clients themselves. And working with them is different. Therapist-clients know the strengths and pitfalls of many of the approaches or techniques you might use... They may be more hesitant to truly share their struggles due to fears of judgment or of being seen - and reported - as an impaired provider... And they may attend the same conferences, trainings, and peer consultation groups as you. It's easy to feel uncertain and nervous when you treat therapist-clients - and the risks of making a damaging ethical misstep are high. In this training, Dr. Rachel Millner, eating disorders expert with extensive experience providing psychotherapy to other therapists, will give you the skills you need to navigate the unique challenges and ethical considerations of treating a therapist, including: Keys to establishing a strong alliance when a client is also a colleague How to approach disclosure and parallel process Strategies for managing imposter syndrome
