This webinar will explore the ethical and clinical complexities of secrets in couples therapy, emphasizing best practices aligned with the NASW Code of Ethics. Participants will examine models for handling secrets, including “no-secrets” policies and worker discretion, while considering the implications for client self-determination, transparency, and relational trust. A justice-informed approach will be emphasized, recognizing how systemic oppression, power imbalances, and cultural factors influence disclosure.

The session will conclude with practical considerations for clinicians, including strategies for informed consent, ethical decision-making, and trauma-informed approaches to navigating disclosures in couples therapy.
