Don’t let your guard down! Learn how to recognize and address sexual transference and countertransference BEFORE the damage is done.
Full Description:
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. It is apparent that 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.

Live Q&A
Presentation Handout

Explain the role of values in the counseling relationship
Define sexual transference and countertransference
