Lifeline Booklet 2021 Specific to S3
Setting Professional Boundaries appropriately and with confidence Failure to set professional boundaries can cause you to burn out from caring for your client beyond what is required of a professional relationship. You can have too much compassion for the client that will make it difficult for you to provide the objectivity your client needs. Boundaries are the limits that allow for safe connections between individuals and protect all parties and set expectations. Outline boundaries clearly at the beginning and only use self-disclosure if you think it is helpful for the client. If a client crosses professional boundaries, then clarify immediately.
