A trap of the healing arts professions is feeling that we do or must have all of the answers to help with the full spectrum of our clients needs. Our clients, often convey many personal and somatic issues to us in the treatment room that are beyond our scope of practice to work with. It is often hard to know when our clients just need someone to listen to them, when we can/should help them with a problem, or should refer to them on to another professional. In this class, we will take inventory of our individual availability to be present for our clients emotional and physical needs and will refine our sense of boundaries, personal as well as professional.
The Instructor, Joe Rodin, has an MA in Psychology and has about 16 years in practice as a counselor and in psychotherapy as well as being a bodyworker for 18 years and a massage instructor for about 10 years. His rich background makes this class considerably more interesting than the typical ethics class. Note: this class does not discuss WA state law.
This class satisfies NCBTMB & WA's ethics requirement.
