When a client’s painful therapy experience ends up on a public podcast and then they share about it on YouTube, what does that mean for ethics, boundaries, and the counseling profession?

In this episode of Christ in Private Practice, Camille is joined by Diana S. Rice, LMHC, CIMHP to take a deeper, reflective look at a publicly shared story involving EMDR treatment, self-disclosure, dual relationships, and a podcast interview that stirred up concern among both clinicians and clients.

Together, they gently unpack questions like:

• What does informed consent really look like when using powerful modalities like EMDR?

• Where is the line between healthy rapport and harmful over-sharing?

• How do we terminate well without abandoning our clients, especially those with deep attachment wounds?

• How do we steward our platforms (podcasts, social media, courses) without exploiting client material or chasing clicks?

• What does it mean to “first do no harm” as Christian clinicians in a very public, digital world?

This conversation is for educational and reflective purposes only and does not serve as legal, clinical, or supervisory advice. Names and identifying details are not shared. The goal is learning, not labeling: to protect clients, safeguard our integrity, and honor Christ in how we practice and how we show up online.
