In this episode, I discuss the ethical and practical considerations of integrating yoga into therapy sessions. Emphasizing the importance of adhering to one's scope of practice and competence. I share insights from consultations with the American Counseling Association's ethics committee and my own extensive research. I also discuss the need for specialized training, informed consent, and cultural competence to ensure safe and effective therapeutic practices. It features practical examples and a case study.
"Scope of competence is more of an ethical concern, and the definition refers to the specific areas or interventions in which a therapist has appropriate education, training, supervision, and experience." -Chris McDonald
