Sample Topic:
Therapeutic Use of Self-Disclosure Opening Question "Have you shared anything personal with a client? What was your reasoning, and how did it go?" Key Discussion Points The purpose of self-disclosure: deepening alliance, normalizing, modeling, or meeting therapist needs? Assessing timing, relevance, and client readiness before disclosing Brief disclosure versus lengthy personal stories What never to disclose (current crises, detailed trauma, judgments about others) Case Application "Think of a moment when a client asked you a personal question. How did you respond? Looking back, would you handle it the same way?" Reflection Prompt "When you're tempted to share something personal, whose need is it really serving? How can you tell the difference between therapeutic disclosure and meeting your own need for connection?" Action Step Before any self-disclosure this week, pause and ask yourself: "What's the therapeutic purpose?" Document your reasoning and the client's response. Discuss in supervision.
