Dissecting Your Ethical Self: Where our morality comes from and how to become better

Most of us don’t think about our ethical selves. But how and why do we become ethical beings? Once having “decided” about right and wrong, how do we assess, and then change, how we approach our clients, our peers, our society and ourselves in relation to “right” and “wrong” behavior? Considering that we can’t give what we don’t have, does knowing the origin of our personal ethics influence our work with clients in helping them to become more ethical? Doing the right thing has become increasingly difficult in our confusingly modern, hopefully post-Covid world. Navigating fluid cultural values, a changing social
climate and personal mental/social exhaustion makes it ever harder to behave ethically but how does one decide when and how to change?

This seminar dissects the origins of our personal ethics, then looks at how awareness of our own ethical origins can impact our work with clients. Cultural competency related to personal and social ethics is woven throughout this seminar. Concrete strategies for becoming more ethical are presented and reinforced with reflection activities during the seminar. Using a model for thinking about ethics in a practical, real-world action-focused manner, this seminar uses lecture, video and personal reflection as building blocks to renewed self-awareness of personal ethical behavior. Everything taught in this seminar
is immediately applicable to working with clients.

This is not your usual ethics seminar! Come prepared to reflect on the origins of your own ethical behavior as you learn how to apply these strategies to your clients.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn about three building blocks of personal ethics.
Participants will learn how to use “one-minute activities” as a way to clarify and explore personal ethics as related to cultural competency.
Participants will learn how to adapt seminar content for use in working with therapy clients.
