| 0:00.0 | So Bob, anonymous annual patron from Arizona emailed in and said, |
| 0:05.9 | do therapists ever talk about their clients to people in their personal lives in a way that |
| 0:10.1 | preserves their client's confidentiality and is it considered okay to do that? I can't imagine |
| 0:15.5 | what it would be like to have an extremely intense session that rattles you to the core |
| 0:19.5 | and then when you return home not be able to explain even in the slightest what has had you rattled. |
| 0:26.1 | Outside of talking about things in supervision, how else do you find support |
| 0:29.7 | as a therapist? Bob, what do you think? I talk about my experience of my clients but I don't |
| 0:35.4 | talk about my clients. Like, what does that mean? It means if I had an intense session that maybe |
| 0:41.2 | it went really well, I definitely want to take a victory lap with Colleen. So what would that sound like? |
| 0:46.3 | So it might sound like, so this thing happened and I had this killer validation. It meant something |

| 1:26.2 | I do some time. So the ethics around confidentiality and around this sort of thing is kind of clear |
| 1:38.2 | and also kind of unclear. In some ways, and I remember studying this a lot in various different |
| 1:46.0 | courses. And one of the easiest way, of course, is to say as a therapist, there's never a scenario |
| 1:55.5 | where you can even disclose that, you know, that because there can still be harm to a client, |
| 2:03.8 | because say you get out of session and you tell Colleen, oh, really rough session. That was hard. |
| 2:11.7 | I got real rattled. I'm feeling like a bad therapist today. I feel like they were judging me and |
| 2:19.7 | attacking me unfairly. And Colleen has no confidential ethical code. So she could tell a friend |
| 2:29.3 | or she could post on Facebook. She wouldn't. But she could. And just us saying, well, my wife won't |
