Most social media ethics training for therapists stops at self-disclosure, dual relationships and confidentiality, and it's often taught from a place of fear and avoidance. But social media isn't going away. For clinicians with marginalized identities, it can open doors to partnerships, visibility and income that make this work more sustainable. And in a predominantly white field, much of what therapists of color navigate online rarely makes it into the conversation.
This 60-minute workshop widens the lens to the ethical questions that come up when clinical knowledge meets a public platform: cultural appropriation, extraction of lived experience, unsolicited clinical interpretation, parasocial relationships, algorithmic incentives and the commodification of healing.
Power: What power does my professional identity give me here?
Culture: Whose experience is being centered? Who is being seen, and who might be put at risk?
Agency: Does my work increase people's capacity to understand and act for themselves?
Attention: Am I accumulating attention and authority, or using my platform to redistribute them?
