SUMMARY:Ethics of Self-Disclosure: To Tell or Not To Tell
DESCRIPTION:Law & Ethics CEs\nEthics of Self-Disclosure: To Tell or Not To Tell\nPresented by: Diane Bigler\, LCSW\, LSCSW\nWhen: Wednesday\, July 29th\, 2026| 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM\, Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours: 3 Law & Ethics CEs | $99.00\nWorkshop Description:\nWhat were you taught about self-disclosure to clients in grad school? Are you wondering whether or not to disclose “something” to your clients? Self-disclosure in therapy is complex and dynamic. During this workshop\, we will have our eye on ethics as we explore considerations for clinician self-disclosure to clients. Self-disclosure has several dimensions\, including clinical\, therapeutic\, technical\, and\, in some cases\, legal or regulatory. We will examine the nature of self-disclosure\, including potential benefits and risks. Attention will specifically be given to ethical considerations\, namely\, relevant ethical principles\, and a typology of self-disclosure using case vignettes. Finally\, key recommendations will be given for clinicians to consider in their course of self-disclosure opportunities. Clinicians will be encouraged to “know thyself” and their ethical responsibilities to best utilize the avenue of appropriate self-disclosure. \nWorkshop Objectives:\n\nComprehend and describe key aspects of therapeutic self-disclosure\, including potential benefits and risks.\nExamine and articulate key ethical considerations of self-disclosure\, including advantages and disadvantages.\nApply best practices for ethical and therapeutic self-disclosure by considering a variety of clinician and client factors.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n

Participants will become aware of the legal and ethical considerations necessary to provide this option for client sessions. Participants will learn the key concepts and significant benefits of providing therapy sessions outdoors\, in a natural setting\, complemented by using expressive arts modalities. The presenter will also teach how these approaches connect through a polyvagal lens. \nParticipants will learn what it takes to provide ethical\, impactful\, confident\, and competent therapy for clients in an outdoor natural setting. The presenter will teach participants how to include expressive arts modalities and somatic awareness techniques in nature therapy\, as these techniques will be interwoven throughout this daylong experience. Experientials will be facilitated to aid participants in their own embodied experience of a session in nature. Participants will leave this course ethically and legally prepared to facilitate an outdoor\, nature-based therapy session\, understanding the client appropriateness (what clients are a good fit for this type of therapy)\, location considerations (parks\, trails\, beaches\, weather conditions\, parking\, etcetera)\, and critical skills needed for facilitating a helpful walk-and-talk session outdoors (multidimensional awareness\, various approaches to facilitation\, and safety considerations). Participants will leave this experiential workshop feeling confident and inspired to offer a more integrated clinical approach than they thought possible! \nOBJECTIVES:\n\n Consider legal\, ethical\, and documentation implications for doing nature-based therapy outdoors.\n Identify important considerations for specific populations.\n Understand the legal and ethical considerations of practicing nature-based therapy in a walk-and-talk session.\n Describe differences among ecotherapy\, nature-based\, adventure-based\, and wilderness therapies.\n Identify key concepts of ecotherapy and nature-based therapy\n Assess who to work with and when\, where to go and why\, and what to expect and consider in various regions and environments when using nature-based therapy.\n Understand the therapist’s identity in nature-based versus ecotherapy practices.\n Introduce common types of nature-based approaches into walk-and-talk therapy sessions.\n\nREGISTER HERE
