Event Details

The Psychologists Protection Society Trust welcomed Sally Openshaw as our first speaker in our series of Virtual Seminars to celebrate the Psychologists Protection Society Trusts 50^th Birthday on Saturday 5^th October 2024.

Session Outline

This webinar helped to provide attendees with a greater capacity to recognise and name the existence of different erotic presentations between therapist and clients.  A 6-step model for the safe management of this material was provided and walked through together.  The boundary violation circle is presented to help each of us to understand risk.  A self-supervision sheet will be offered to help create expansive awareness and aide with disclosures in supervision processes. Additional resources are recommended for further studying.
