  • Resumen

  • The Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide: Where Therapists Live, Breathe, and Practice as Human Beings It’s time to reimagine therapy and what it means to be a therapist. We are human beings who can now present ourselves as whole people, with authenticity, purpose, and connection. Especially now, when clinicians must develop a personal brand to market their private practices, and are connecting over social media, engaging in social activism, pushing back against mental health stigma, and facing a whole new style of entrepreneurship. To support you as a whole person, a business owner, and a therapist, your hosts, Curt Widhalm and Katie Vernoy talk about how to approach the role of therapist in the modern age.

  • When Laws and Ethics Conflict: Civil Disobedience, Social Justice, and Our Role as Therapists

    When Laws and Ethics Conflict: Civil Disobedience, Social Justice, and Our Role as Therapists
    Apr 28 2025
    When Laws and Ethics Conflict: Civil Disobedience, Social Justice, and Our Role as Therapists Curt and Katie chat about what happens when legal requirements clash with ethical responsibilities—and how therapists can stay grounded in their values while navigating complex decisions. When you find yourself in a situation where the law seems to contradict your ethics, or even violate your clients’ basic human rights, what do you do? In this deep-dive episode, we explore the tension between law and ethics and the moral courage required to practice in alignment with your values. From post-9/11 changes in APA’s ethics code to current issues like gender-affirming care restrictions, we explore real-world implications and guide you through a framework for ethical decision-making in the face of legal and systemic challenges. This is a continuing education podcourse. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we talk about laws, ethics, and the difficult decisions therapists face in practice Executive orders and nationwide proposed legislative bills that affect mental health have left therapists wondering, “Will my ethics protect me?” This episode and podcourse explores the interplay between laws and ethics, how professional organizations guide therapists when laws and ethics collide and gives a framework for how therapists should proceed. Participants will learn how to identify potential conflicts, understand their legal and ethical obligations, and develop effective decision-making processes. Topics explored will include risk management strategies, consultation best practices, and documentation considerations in conflictual situations. How do Modern Therapists navigate Ethics vs. Law in our practices? · Where clinical ethics and legal obligations collide · How our ethical codes approach this conflict (APA, ACA, NASW, CAMFT) · The importance of understanding your responsibilities beyond compliance Civil Disobedience as Therapists out in the world and in our offices · Philosophical roots: Antigone, Nuremberg, and post-9/11 ethics reform · When following the law may cause harm to clients or communities · How to protect your license while still honoring human rights Real-Life Legal versus Ethical Dilemmas for Modern Therapists · What to do when reporting requirements might increase harm · How to support trans and gender-diverse clients in states with discriminatory laws · Navigating confidentiality, documentation, and advocacy A Therapist’s Decision-Making Process for Civil Disobedience From Knapp, S., Gottlieb, M., Berman, J., & Handelsman, M. M. (2007). When laws and ethics collide: What should psychologists do? · Seek consultation to understand your legal requirements (know what the law is actually asking you to do, even if that means taking the time to consult with an attorney) · Clearly understand your ethical obligations (read the language of the ethics code and consult with trusted colleagues) · Consider alternatives that allow following the law while upholding your values · Contemplate violating the law only if no viable alternatives exist, and if so, limit disobedience to the minimum necessary to fulfill the higher goal Receive Continuing Education for this Episode of the Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Continuing Education Approvals: Continuing Education Information including grievance and refund policies.

Dr. Johnson shared powerful insights about the shame, grief, and medical trauma that many clients face, especially Black women and other folks from historically marginalized communities.

Marion Sims, Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee) · Myths of hyper-fertility in Black women and the erasure of infertility struggles in communities of color · Disenfranchised grief and cultural stigma around fertility challenges · Weathering: the cumulative impact of chronic stress and racism on physical and reproductive health How can therapists show up better for clients who are experiencing infertility and pregnancy loss? · Learn the terminology and processes around fertility treatments and pregnancy loss · Create space for conversations around sex, reproduction, and grief—even if it’s uncomfortable · Practice cultural humility and intimacy: be willing to be wrong, to sit with pain, and to build trust · Acknowledge your own limitations and biases while staying curious and committed to learning · Be prepared for these conversations—even if you don’t specialize in reproductive mental health Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist’s Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/
