Playback session - audio sample It takes a lot of energy to establish and maintain ethical boundaries in therapy. When clinicians have expended too much of their energy and are suffering from compassion fatigue, they're much more vulnerable to boundary confusion in their relationships with clients. In this workshop, we'll discuss the importance of self-reflection, peer supervision, sharing concerns with colleagues, and establishing and maintaining clear boundary guidelines. We'll focus particularly on self-care, with participants developing a plan for their own personal and professional well-being, to keep them grounded, mindful, and confident so that compassion fatigue becomes much less of an issue as a trigger for boundary problems. Note: this workshop fulfills many state board requirements for training in ethics and risk management.
