You're facing a boundary violation in therapy. How can you handle it without harming the client relationship?
As a social worker, navigating the therapeutic relationship with your clients requires a delicate balance. When a boundary violation occurs, it can be a challenging hurdle to overcome. Boundary violations refer to instances where the lines between professional and personal relationships become blurred, which can happen inadvertently or through intentional overstepping by either party. These violations are not only ethically concerning but can also damage the trust you've built with your client. Handling these situations with care is crucial to maintaining a professional relationship and ensuring the client's well-being.
