Episode notes
ADVICE

Weigh Harm Before Using Client Examples

  • Assess risk of harm before sharing client material publicly and mask identities when possible.
  • Use education and public benefit as justification if risks are minimized and necessary precautions are taken.
INSIGHT

No Clear Guidelines For Clinicians Online

  • There were no clear professional guidelines on clinicians creating public content, so Kirk wrote a white paper to fill the gap.
  • Formalizing guidance protects clinicians from complaints and helps supervisees follow best practices.
ADVICE

Address Client Listening Proactively

  • If you think a listener is one of your clients, proactively address potential content that could interfere with treatment.
  • Repair ruptures by inviting discussion so sessions stay focused on the client's goals, not the clinician's issues.
