101. Confidentiality Conflict

What happens when your clinical judgment and employer expectations conflict? In this episode, Liana shares her experience working in a substance abuse outpatient treatment center where fraternization between clients was strictly prohibited. She discusses the challenges of navigating this rule and the impact it had on her therapeutic relationship with a client who was involved in a relationship with another client. Liana also talks about the conflict between confidentiality and the obligation to disclose details about her client to her employer, as well as the negative response she received from her supervisors when she disclosed the situation. The episode highlights the tension between following workplace rules and maintaining ethical standards as a therapist.
