Description
If Not Properly Dealt With, Sexual Feelings Can Have Grave Consequences for Therapist & Client
Many professionals, at one time or another, are confronted with sexual attraction to a client. Anyone who deals with the needs of others in a professional setting is vulnerable to these feelings. If not properly dealt with, these feelings and issues can have grave consequences, up to and including loss of license, arrest, and imprisonment. Many professional training programs do not adequately prepare therapists and counselors to deal with these issues.
This webinar instructs participants on the dangers of dual relationships, ignoring personal feelings, and not confronting inappropriate client behavior. Through discussion of personal values, therapeutic and anti-therapeutic seduction, how and why clients seduce, and therapeutic power dynamics, participants will be able to consider how best to set and maintain appropriate boundaries in a counseling environment.
