Five Ways to Set Boundaries for Therapists

"Empathy without boundaries is a path to self-destruction." Have you heard this saying before? 
For healers, counselors, therapists, social workers, this statement is so heavy and true! Empathy and compassion are main tenets of our work with other humans and if we don't set boundaries for others and ourselves in different areas of our lives, this can lead to a place of resentment and burnout.
Cristal Acosta, private practice owner and therapist of over a decade who has worked in many settings, gives therapists 5 ways to set boundaries.

Mom Guilt

Mom guilt: preoccupation with feeling "not good enough" as a parent/caregiver, questioning your decisions or indecisions about parenting, feeling guilty about taking care of yourself, thinking you might "mess up" your kids.
I talk about my experience with "therapist mom" guilt in this episode.
 
Influencing factors to mom guilt are also addressed: the patriarchy, unfair and unattainable societal norms, and other forms of oppression.
