Setting healthyboundaries. It's a central theme in many counselling sessions, yet somethingthat therapists often struggle to do for themselves. In a profession that ismotivated by a desire to help others and relieve suffering, the pressure isalways there for therapists to put others' needs before their own.

For registeredpsychologist Nicole Perry, the conversation around therapists' own needs isconspicuously missing. When these needs are not addressed, therapists are leftvulnerable to potential career- and life-altering outcomes like burnout andvicarious trauma. It's time to think about boundaries that contemplate thetherapist in a wholistic way, addressing not only their professionalresponsibilities, but their limits, needs, and values.

Taking a somaticand feminist approach, Nicole leads readers down a self-reflective path topractical boundaries that nurture them as people first, therapists second:boundaries that are essential for building and sustaining a long and vibrantcareer in counselling.
