What are some examples of ethical dilemmas?
I find that most ethical dilemmas boil down to boundaries: what is acceptable in the relationship.Touch, for example, many find all forms of touch to be unethical. Other counselors may be okay with just a hug. Still, others may be okay with holding as a reparative experience.Gifts, as another example. Some therapists will not accept gifts in any form. Others will accept gifts under a certain price range (their is a price named in the code of ethics, but I can't remember exactly what it is and which code it's from). Some will only accept gifts that are personally crafted and thus monetary value is more of a question mark (art, crocheted blankets, etc.).Outside contact is another one of those blurry ethical areas. Technically speaking outside contact is not forbidden by the code of ethics. In fact, the code suggests that it is acceptable when client and therapist are in different locations. However, when it comes to text and email this becomes a very personal choice because in the states HIPPA also enters the equation. Text and email aren't confidential unless special precautions are taken, so most counselors don't allow for this unless it is for scheduling and business purposes. Those who do allow more, I find, tend to find this less than sustainable unless they're in group practice and doing DBT (which calls for coaching).Dual relationships goes along well with outside contact. Apparently some therapists fear that allowing outside contact is a slippery slope that will lead to a dual relationship. Some dual relationships can't be avoided as another answerer has stated. In small communities where there may only be one counselor, it may be more unethical to deny the person your services.I think in all cases, it just boils down to, what's in the best interest of the client. What will cause them the least harm and do the most good? And being sure that the counselors own stuff doesn't get in the way of honestly answering that question.
A bisexual dilemma between husband and wife.?
I am bisexual. My husband knew this when we met. Although I have been with two girls in the past, I continue to search for a third to enjoy. He gets insulted at the very mention of it now. I expressed how it was part of me being sexual and that I won't change. This is causing him to be insecure and upset with me. He states that he planned on only having me for the rest of our lives and won't let me have a playmate. I even asked him to join in on a threesome, and that he would get first dibs. He said that's not something a guy does with the woman he chooses to marry and gets extremely upset, ending the conversation. How can I make him see, that I wasn't planning on changing him when we met and that I don't expect that of him. I go without having a girl for about 1-2 years, and then suddenly I want to enjoy again, but with no strings attached. How do I convince him? I have even gone so far as to ask him what he would do if he came home and saw me, and he freaked out on me! HELP.
I'm currently dating two girls. I think I like them both equally. They bear the same name coincidentally. How do I decide whom to choose?
I am going to assume this is a hypothetcal scenario, because otherwise you have boned yourself all the way to next year.My best advice would be to start an argument with them. Try to pick topics that are equally as important to them, so that you get similar results. Try to get them both riled up and passionate about what they’re arguing about. See if you can push them to the brink of violence (just make sure you stay far away from that point).Pick whoever was better at arguing. Which one walked away first? Which was better at mitigation?Marriages and other romantic relationships are full of arguing. Being good at arguing calmly and effectively is extremely important.*I am in highschool. Reference for this answer comes from my image of relationships created by the digital age.*
What is the biggest dilemma you had to face in your life?
My biggest dilemma I had to face in life is to VOTESounds funny right?But I am serious, from our childhood we were taught the importance of voting in elections. I remember my history teacher giving examples of how even one vote can make a difference.But know the reason for the dilemma is:How do I decide whom to vote? I believe I am a rational being who has no bias to any political party or influenced by religion or any other factor.My opinion is influenced daily by a lot of things like:Newspaper: The newspapers have become highly biased, for example take example of Andhra Pradesh all the leading dailies are mouth pieces of one or the other party. A normal person can read a maximum of one paper daily. So the more you read the more you get influenced with the party ideology.Okay, Lets not read the newspaper like many youth of our country and instead follow social media like facebook, youtube etcLet me give you an example again: I regularly follow GUULTEE ( name changed) for movie and political news.. this website seems to be aligned to a political party; till few months they praised a cine actor who came to politics and supported a party and now when he changes his stand everything the actor does is projected like a mistake. So what’s the solution?I started to read another website: CINEBOSH (name changed) This website supports anything and everything done by the actor.And the recent examples of Cambridge Analytica used facebook data supports the above argument.So the second option available is promises given by parties in their election manifestoTake manifesto of any political party there are promises on each and everything and yet most of it are fulfilled. So let’s leave manifesto as well.Thirdly,Lets us judge the government by the kind of laws and policies it makes which would benefit the state or a country. Seems good right?Wait now the problem is: What if Government doesn’t implement laws already made. Can this happen? YES example of implementation of AP reorganization act. I am not blaming any particular political party but yes this truly happened.Fourthly,Lets leave all these: If a party has good CM or PM candidate and a worst MLA/MP representing our constituency how should I vote?Should I decide based on Party or candidate?Last OptionSo I decide to choose NOTA. But how does it help a society when NOTA votes are just removed and has zero effect in elections.So I think voting in elections is a big dilemma !!
21 years old, mom won't let me grow up, I feel trapped in my own life. HELP?
Oh honey it feels like I just read my life story. I am 22 and also have a 10:30 curfew. I have a great relationship with my parents as long as I am single. Once I have a bf problems form because then I want to stay out later and my parents won't let me. My parents are extremely old fashioned, they also want me to be a virgin until marriage. Too late! What parents do not understand is that you can have sex at all times of the day. What I don't understand is why you have been keeping this from your bf for so long if he loves you he will understand. Your mother loves you with all her heart and she is doing what she thinks is best for you which really isnt. You live in her house so you are expected to follow her rules. Just like me I'm sure you won't move out because deep down inside you know there is no place like home. My dad would also fake attacks and it was ridiculous! I stepped over his shaking body once and he finally quit the drama. You need to speak with your mother and let her know that you are at an age that if you want to do something nobody can stop you but either way you would like to seek her approval and attempt to obey. It is hard for old fashioned parents to understand this, I have a constant struggle with mine. But let me tell you one thing there is no place like home and one day you will understand your mother. If you cannot handle it anymore the best thing to do is move out.

HELP!! I'm torn between my wife & mother!?
What would you do? My mom has no job, no where to live. My wife & I just bought our 5 bedroom home, with moms help. We have 5 children. My mom and wife are clashing and there is definate tension in the home when I get home from work. My mom is hard headed, stubborn & controlling. My wife is stubborn, controlling and hot tempered. My wife runs my business at home, home schools our children, keeps our home tidy, and is basically EVERYTHING to me. My mother, sits around all day watching T.V., comes between my marriage, trys to be too nosey and is very lazy and dirty, but of course she means alot to me too! But as I said before, she helped me get our home (co-signed) but my wife & I pay ALL the bills. Mom breaks lots of stuff too! I love them both and I am torn between them. I know my wife will give me an ultimatum soon! I'm in a bad spot. I feel like I owe mom , but my family is more important. What should I do?!?
I am torn between wanting to live and wanting to die. How do I end this battle?
I would probably give you the most depressing answer you can find here. It’s not hopeful, it’s not supposed to make you feel you’re loved or cared for. It’s just the truth from my perspective.I have known a few people in my lifetime who have committed suicide. Some very close and dear to me. Truth be told, even I myself have contemplated about it now and then. When a person commits suicide it’s hell for the people they leave behind. After they die, they’re grieved. Their presence is missed. And then they’re forgotten. Time heals the shock that their loved ones get, and slowly they are only remembered only in their death anniversaries.If you chose to live, congratulations. It’s even worse. Everyday is a struggle. Things don’t come easy in this world. If you’re doing something everyday that you simply hate doing, you’re dying anyways. So that’s another hell. But yeah, you get to enjoy momentary happiness, warmth of relations and loads of being remembered by others.My advice would be -If you really wish to die, make sure you do something worth being remembered for first. There are examples of people who wanted to die for some cause or made themselves memorable through their works. Take motivation from them before you go ahead and die, and waste your life.If you really wish to live, remember it’s a struggle and that all happiness and sadness is momentary. Don’t waste it thinking of things that could have happened, but think about things that are happening or can happen.So many people don’t even get the luxury of choosing whether they want to live or die. Be thankful you have that choice for now, count your blessings and focus on your problems. Godspeed!
