Description:
<p><b>Set boundaries to sustain yourself and your counselling practice</b></p>
<p>Setting healthy boundaries. It’s a central theme in many counselling sessions, yet something that therapists often struggle to do for themselves. In a profession that is motivated by a desire to help others and relieve suffering, the pressure is always there for therapists to put others’ needs before their own.</p>
<p>For registered psychologist Nicole Perry, the conversation around therapists’ own needs is conspicuously missing. When these needs are not addressed, therapists are left vulnerable to potential career- and life-altering outcomes like burnout and vicarious trauma. It’s time to think about boundaries that contemplate the therapist in a wholistic way, addressing not only their professional responsibilities, but their limits, needs, and values.</p>
<p>Taking a somatic and feminist approach, Nicole leads readers down a self-reflective path to practical boundaries that nurture them as people first, therapists second: boundaries that are essential for building and sustaining a long and vibrant career in counselling.</p>
