| Περίληψη: | The therapeutic alliance is the strongest predictor of psychotherapy outcomes, yet one of its most powerful building blocks – therapist self-disclosure – remains culturally stigmatized and poorly addressed in clinical training. This article introduces The Mirrored Walls of Therapy, a practice-based framework proposing that the urge to disclose arises not randomly, but as a direct response to the reflective nature of the therapeutic relationship itself. Drawing on established disclosure typology and clinical case illustration, the framework argues that encouraged self-disclosure is not an ethical hazard but a clinical competency – and that suppressing the mirror, not using it, carries the greater ethical risk.
