In this episode of "My Therapist Knows Your Name," Tarini explores the concept of self-disclosure in therapy. Have you ever wondered why your therapist remains largely a mystery while they know so much about you? Tarini delves into the benefits and challenges of self-disclosure, discussing how it can foster connection and authenticity in the therapeutic relationship. Through modern practices like social media, therapists reveal more about themselves, breaking the stance of a "blank slate." But when is it appropriate to share, and how can it impact the balance of the client-therapist dynamic? Tarini shares insights on navigating this gray area, offering personal experiences and discussing boundaries. Join the conversation to understand the nuances of self-disclosure and its role in offering a transformative experience for clients.
