📄 Therapists & Medical Professionals: Are You Documenting with Client Safety in Mind?
In this episode of TwoX Labs Podcast, Dr. Erika Miley sits down with Cairn Yakey, MA to discuss a critical yet often overlooked aspect of care—how we document our clients' information and the potential risks it carries.
For trans individuals, LGBTQIA2S+ clients, immigrants, neurodivergent individuals, and other marginalized populations, traditional documentation practices can create barriers, increase exposure to harm, or even put them at legal risk. This conversation explores how therapists and healthcare providers can rethink their approach to clinical and medical documentation to ensure safety, protect access to care, and minimize harm.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ Why traditional documentation methods can be risky for marginalized communities ✅ How coded language can be used to protect rather than out clients ✅ Strategies for writing therapy and medical notes with safety and advocacy in mind ✅ How to reframe diagnosis, travel letters, and medical necessity to avoid unnecessary risks
🎧 Whether you're a therapist, social worker, medical provider, or advocate, this episode is essential for ensuring your documentation aligns with client protection and well-being.

As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
