March: Using Clinical Boundaries to Improve Personal Wellbeing with Dr. Ayanna Abrams
Group Description
Boundaries Aren't Just For Your Clients: Using Clinical Boundaries to Improve Personal Wellbeing
Setting boundaries is a personal and interpersonal skill that clinicians help our clients with daily in their social lives, familial relationships, within the work force and in how they treat themselves. However, psychotherapists are notoriously known for violating our own boundaries by putting others before ourselves and burning out fairly early in the careers we've worked so hard to cultivate.
Dr. Ayanna Abrams, licensed clinical psychologist, is pleased to facilitate a much-needed interactive space for healers to attune to our own practice of supporting ourselves. We will explore useful language, build courage together and address the unique supports that we need to cultivate a healthy and responsive boundary practice that not only benefits us, but enhances our ability to provide affirmative and sustainable care to our communities.
March 27th, 12:00 - 1:30pm EST, conducted online via Zoom
