When we realize we have been unprepared for work with certain clients, it's ethical to figure out how to do better. We can feel shame and defensiveness, but I hope we also feel that we are on the edge of a great opportunity to learn more.

What happens when there aren't many options for continuing education related to the gap? Or, even more commonly, what if the continuing education that does exist was not created by someone with lived experience?

These are just some of my ideas and what I've noticed can be helpful. One workshop isn't going to be quite enough, so I'd suggest that all of these sectors are important. Any others ideas?

Note that I didn't say "ask your client to educate you about the larger issue," and I hope by now we all know that this is an unfair and potentially therapy-ending burden to place upon them.
