Confidentiality is really important and I take it extremely, extremely seriously.
What happens when your therapist has to break confidentiality? In this eye-opening episode of 'The TARA Clinic', Tara Hurster dives into the delicate balance between maintaining client trust and ensuring safety. Tara, a seasoned psychologist, sheds light on the strict rules that bind therapists to keep your conversations private. But what about those moments when keeping a secret could mean harm?
Tara explains the scenarios where therapists are legally required to intervene, such as when a client poses a danger to themselves or others. She also touches on mandatory reporting laws that compel therapists to report cases of child abuse, elder abuse, and certain criminal activities. This episode is a must-listen for anyone in therapy or considering it, as it demystifies the boundaries of confidentiality and underscores the importance of safety plans and risk assessments.
