Description
CounselingExamWhat's the secret to creating a robust therapist-client relationship, you ask? The answer could be as simple as sharing a bit of yourself. In our latest podcast episode, we, your hosts Stacy Frost and Dr. Linton Hutchinson, pull back the curtain on the controversial topic of self-disclosure in therapy. With a mix of lively banter and expert insight, we illuminate the delicate balance of sharing personal experiences with clients to foster connection while maintaining the paramount focus on client welfare and safety.Have you ever wondered how to tread the thin line between personal and professional in your therapy sessions? Tune in as we arm you with tried and tested guidelines to navigate this nuanced territory. We unveil the potential of self-disclosure to reduce feelings of isolation, validate experiences, and instill hope in clients. We also candidly address the risks involved – from diverting attention away from the client to blurring personal boundaries. Whether studying for your licensure exam or seeking to hone your therapeutic skills, this episode is a must-listen. Remember, at the heart of it all, therapy is about the client's journey, not the therapist's narrative.If you need to study for your NCMHCE narrative exam, try the free samplers at: CounselingExam.comThis podcast is not associated with the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) or any state or governmental agency responsible for licensure.
