Have your hobbies ever conflicted with your clinical work? Join us as we hear from Sam who had an anonymous complaint filed to her ethics board about her being a pole dancing instructor. You won't believe the major assumptions implied about her professionalism! Sam shares with us how she ethically maintains two rewarding careers as a therapist and pole dancing instructor, the double standards that exist in our field, and how she navigates it all. So sit back, grab a pole (or some popcorn), and get ready for an episode that will make you question everything you thought you knew about therapists and our personal lives.
