ARE YOU IN BREACH OF YOUR PROFESSIONAL ETHICS?
You have spent your entire professional career securing and storing medical records and ensuring your clients’ confidentiality. What happens to these records when you retire, become disabled, or die?
Did you know that even if you die, your estate could be held responsible for malpractice complaints and legal actions brought about by your failure to anticipate your demise?
For psychologists, your Code of Ethics dictates that you are expected to “make reasonable efforts to plan for facilitating services in the event that psychological services are interrupted by factors such as the psychologist’s illness, death, unavailability, relocation, or retirement…” The same ethical mandate applies to Mental Health Counselors, Marriage and Family Therapists, and Social Workers.
This workshop provides information and examples of how to prepare for such a situation – creating a Professional Will and identifying a Professional Executor to handle the legal and ethical details necessary to protect yourself and your practice. If something happens to you, you need a similarly licensed professional (not your spouse or child) to deal with your clients/patients, confidential records, office leases, obtain releases, make referrals, etc. In addition, your clients/patients will likely need help in their grieving and necessary transition to another therapist.

The Relational Dance of Emotional Dependence
Presented by: Kristie Baber, MSW, LICSW, CCTP
When: Thursday, October 22nd, 2026 | 9:30 am – 1:30 pm Pacific Time
Where: Live via Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link via email the week of the workshop.
Continuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 4 CEs, including 2 Professional Roles & Boundaries CEs | Cost: $109.00
Continuing Education Workshop Description:
We’ve all learned that codependence is a bad word – but what if that is an oversimplification of an otherwise healthy continuum of emotional dependence?
In this continuing education workshop, we will define and understand dependence, codependence, and interdependence without fatalism or gaslighting. This training will provide an overview of human attachment and how both our drive for connection and our tolerance for it are established in our early years.
With compassion, we’ll explore the dynamics of overreliance and discuss what codependence actually is (and, equally important, what it is not). We’ll also acknowledge the gold standard of interdependence and how to assist clients in developing and repairing relationships to that end. Most relevantly, we will address treatment planning and provide practical tools to leverage therapeutic change for our clients struggling in relationships – with themselves and others.
This continuing education workshop is designed for practicing therapists with clients of all ages. The workshop will be conducted in a Zoom format, and teaching modalities will include a mix of clinical discussion, lecture with case examples and video illustrations, as well as individual exercises.
Continuing Education Workshop Objectives:

Understand attachment patterns and clinical presentations of emotional dependency in friendships, intimate relationships, parenting, and family systems.
Appreciate interpersonal dependency as a healthy relational system.
Recognize common client histories and red flags that typify codependency.
Confront the dynamics of overreliance – vulnerability, validation, and interpersonal control.
Consider establishing healthy boundaries as a key strategy for maintaining identity and addressing unhealthy boundary profiles, including nonexistent, weak or poorly expressed, and rigid boundaries.
Underline professional boundaries in our role as therapists with a clinical population that may be struggling in this area.
Provide strategies for clients to navigate and repair inevitable relational ruptures as well as develop other skills that promote healthy interpersonal dependency.
