A client’s story may touch on a recent loss, questions about time away from work may raise decisions about what to share, and returning to a caseload may require more intentional boundaries than usual. During these seasons, clinicians need ways to care for themselves while continuing to protect the client-centered focus of therapy.** In this training, clinicians are invited to examine the ethical and relational decisions that can arise when their own grief intersects with client care. The course explores how to think through disclosure following a loss, how to distinguish self-disclosure from self-involving responses, and how to decide what information may or may not be clinically appropriate to share with different clients.

Her experience at the intersection of grief, loss, and clinical practice informs her approach to ethical disclosure, grounding skills, self-care, and work-related boundaries for clinicians navigating their own seasons of grief. Ms. Dilworth offers practical frameworks for assessing the purpose, timing, and potential impact of sharing personal information. You will explore how a client's unique needs, attachment patterns, and expectations of the therapy relationship influence whether disclosure helps or hinders their progress. The discussion also covers how to navigate direct personal questions, repair moments when sharing doesn't land as intended, and skillfully guide the focus back to the client. Because grief can be unpredictably activated during a session, having immediate grounding strategies is essential. Drawing from Compassion-Focused Therapy, you will learn to navigate your own threat, drive, and soothing systems. Techniques like mindful movement, soothing rhythm breathing, and compassionate imagery will equip you to stay anchored in the present moment. Finally, the content extends beyond the therapy hour, offering guidance on recognizing your window of tolerance and setting sustainable, work-related boundaries as you transition back to your caseload. ![Tiffani Dilworth Headshot]() ## Instructor ### Tiffani Dilworth, MA, LCPC Miss Dilworth is a successful psychotherapist, author, and sought-after speaker on topics related to grief, PTSD, and sexual assault.
