▶ Classical conditioning

🔒Client confidentiality refers to the ethical principle that ensures the information shared between a counselor and a client remains private and protected.

🔒It means that mental health professionals, such as therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers are legally and ethically bound to keep the information shared by their clients confidential, except in certain specific circumstances mandated by law or when there is a serious threat to the client or others' safety.

🔒Confidentiality forms the foundation of a safe and trusting therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
