Testimonials
As a mental health therapist, I don't solicit testimonials from clients for several important reasons:
Confidentiality and Privacy: Maintaining your confidentiality and privacy is paramount. Soliciting testimonials could pressure clients to reveal personal information.
Power Dynamics: The inherent power dynamics in therapy may make clients feel obligated to provide positive feedback, which might not accurately reflect their true experiences.
Ethical Guidelines: Professional ethical guidelines discourage soliciting testimonials to ensure therapeutic boundaries are clear and the focus remains on your well-being and progress.
Focus on Client Well-being: The primary goal is to support your mental health and personal growth, not to gather endorsements.
