- Let's look at this example of an ethical dilemma together
- Lysbilde: 30
- This is Skyler. Skyler is going to counselling with their counsellor, Sam. Skyler has created a positive relationship with their counsellor and feels comfortable sharing with them. Recently, Skylers counsellor has been offering Skyler to join Sam at a community social event outside of the counselling setting. Skyler's friends don't know that Skyler is going to counselling, and although they enjoy coming to counselling, they feel conflicted on what to say to Sam. Skyler doesn't want to feel mean or let their counsellor down, but also doesn't want to go to the social event with Sam and would rather go with their friends instead, without them knowing about their counselling.

- Those involved include: Skyler, Sam (the counsellor), Skyler's friends, and the social community.

- Wait a second... Look closer at this ethical dilemma! One of our arch enemies is lurking around here!
- Lysbilde: 37
- Oh No! It's the Bad Boundaries Bot!
- Lysbilde: 38
- That's right!! I create ethical dilemmas! I have put the counsellor under my trance to have bad ethical boundaries! You'll never find a way through the ethical dilemmas I set!
- Lysbilde: 39
- Bad Boundaries Bot is definitely one of our key issues with this ethical dilemma! His influence is affecting the counsllor to not show clear professional boundaries with their client! Plus the clients social circle are unaware of them attending counselling. Going to a social event outside of the therapeutic goals can be blurring the boundary lines and is the key issue to this ethical dilemma.
- Lysbilde: 41
- Informed Consent Dog is right. I feel very angry right now and can identify with Skyler as I have been in a similar situation with my own counsellor when I was younger. I wish to protect Skyler and defeat Bad Boundaries Bot so he can no longer cause trouble through these ethical dilemmas! I know we have the competency to assess all the factors and find a way through this dilemma.

- Great now let's look at Step 3. Lets evaluate our options for courses of action moving forward
- 1. Do Nothing. No need to intervene on this ethical dilemma.Risks: client feels uncomfortable and confidentiality is compromised.Benefits: Both client and counsellor still go to the event.
- 2. Have the counsellor seek supervision to facilitate repair in the client counsellor relationship by battling the Bad Boundaries Bot effects to the counselling setting.Risks: Counsellor will have to model humility in confronting bad boundaries mistake.Benefits: Client counsellor relationship is maintained, confidentiality is maintained, and client does not feel in a position to have to consent to going to event with counsellor. Both still go to the event.
- 3. Have the counsellor invite the clients parents to also come along to the social event with them.Risks: Client feels uncomfortable and confidentiality is compromised.Benefits: Both client and counsellor still go to the event.

- Step 2 of the BCACC Process of Ethical Decision Making then has us thinking about what are the key issues in this situation?
- When we consider this ethical dilemma we need to follow the BCACC Process of Ethical Decision Making. Step 1 begins with us thinking about who is invovled in this situation?
- Okay, great. Skyler has the right to their own autonomy, to be treated by the counsellor with nonmaleficence, beneficence, fidelity, and justice. Sam has a responsibility to also consider societal interest in this ethical dilemma situation. Skylers social circle and the counsellors social circle can exist at the same event, but to protect Skylers confidentiality, should not interact with one another.
- This Bot will work to influence further potential issues to boundariers that can harm the maintenance of a healthy client and counsellor relationship! We need to stop him!!
- Ruff! Wait! We need to take a step back and first evaluate all contributing factors to these issues, including our own self awareness. Is this dilemma in our area of competence? Do we hold any biases, have any life stressors or personal interests that could affect this issue? Or are we reacting with any strong feelings? Ruff!
- Ruff! Good thing we took the appropriate steps to combating this ethical dilemma together! Step 5 is important for documenting the process by making notes regarding everyone you connected with to work through this ethical dilemma. Ensuring safe keeping of the confidential information that the documentation contains following BCACC guidelines. Ruff!
- Ruff! Let's look at the risk level for each group involved!
- Professional boundaries are important to maintain in the counselling relationship with clients. Skyler is belonging to the vulnerable population and the counsellor will need to take the stance of ensuring that boundaries are vocalized in a clear, concise, and caring way. It will help if we consider the Ethical Standards that are important in this instance.
- The applicable ones to this ethical dilemma we have highlighted here!
