The Ethics of Self Disclosure: When to Share and When to Keep Your Mouth Shut!
We all know not to make a session about us. When does self-disclosure support client work counselor credibility, and rapport building? In this lecture, presenters Kate Latimer, MA LPCC and Angel Avila, MA, LCSW, will share research on best practices for ethical counselor/therapist self-disclosure as a way to bridge cultural gaps and build therapeutic alliances.
