The training offers practical guidance for ethical decision-making when emotions run high.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify signs of emotional overreach, rescue fantasies, and role confusion within the therapeutic relationship.
  2. Differentiate between subtle boundary crossings and ethical violations using professional ethical frameworks.
  3. Apply structured ethical decision-making strategies to maintain clear boundaries when strong emotional reactions or over-identification arise.
