Bound to Care: Attachment, Empathy, and the Therapist's Role (3 CE Hours)
This self-reflective ethics course explores the nuanced intersection of empathy, power, and personal need in the counseling relationship. Whereas clinicians are trained to care deeply, that care can quietly cross ethical lines when shaped by unmet needs—for validation, connection, or impact. Through an exploration of relational boundaries, emotional over-identification, and the subtle dynamics of influence, this course invites clinicians to examine how their own humanity—when unacknowledged—may affect clinical decision-making. Rooted in ethical humility, it offers tools for awareness, repair, and growth in the therapist-client relationship.
