| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners. It's just me today. If you were to ask, if you were to somehow |
| 0:13.3 | approach my supervisees, and particularly my supervisees, I guess my students, if you |
| 0:19.3 | were to somehow contact some of my supervisees, people that I knew therapists that I'm supervising, |
| 0:26.4 | if you were to talk to them and ask them in confidence what they disliked about me the most, |
| 0:33.6 | there would probably be a pretty sizable list because I have all my various flaws and any |
| 0:42.5 | flaw you have is likely to emerge in supervision. But one of them would be that I will rant often |
| 0:52.0 | about confidentiality and about how to follow certain regulations and standards of care when it |
| 1:00.2 | comes to couples counseling, family counseling, family therapy. And what they would say as well, |
| 1:07.9 | you know, Kirk's always yell at us about making sure that everyone signs the disclosure statement |
| 1:13.4 | and never getting involved in the court and avoiding custody battles and, you know, whenever there's |

| 1:46.4 | make these mistakes and then end up getting in big trouble for it. And the instances in which |
| 1:53.6 | you're going to get in trouble are rare. You could perhaps go your entire career without ever |
| 1:59.5 | even having a complaint waged against you, let alone getting in a specific trouble like the kinds |
| 2:05.9 | of things that I rant and rave about in terms of this stuff. But why take the chance when you can |
| 2:11.7 | avoid it so easily? That's my whole thing. It's like if you just follow a certain set of very simple |
| 2:18.4 | rules, you can avoid a huge amount of headache and annoyance and sleepless nights worrying about it. |
| 2:26.0 | Honestly, whenever I talk with people who are getting sued or having a complaint waged against |
| 2:32.4 | them, the actual consequences aren't that big of a deal, which I'll get into later. But the biggest |
| 2:38.1 | 99.9% of the toll it takes on a therapist is the waiting, the shame, the wondering what's got to |
