Friendship, Ethics, and the Paradox of Community in Psychotherapy & Supervision

Self-Care, Supervision /

Imagine a supportive community of psychotherapists, bound by shared values and intention, not past connections. This isn’t just a dream; it’s the power of mindful boundaries in supervision. These lines, often seen as restrictive, foster healthy group dynamics, encourage focused learning, and create a safe space for growth. Yet, they don’t sever connection – they nurture it by allowing us to build new networks, engage with experienced mentors, and still maintain cherished friendships outside the supervisory space. This delicate balance unlocks the true potential of therapeutic communities, offering support, growth, and ultimately, the chance to walk this path of helping others, together.

Self Worth, Self-Care /

Setting healthy boundaries is crucial for taking care of ourselves and having healthy relationships. But it’s a skill that many of us struggle with, which can lead to all sorts of negative consequences. Some common signs of poor boundaries include: having a hard time making decisions because we feel torn between what we want and what others want; having trouble saying “no” or setting limits; letting others cross our personal boundaries or invade our personal space; not having clear boundaries in relationships which can lead to confusion and discomfort; having a hard time recognizing and expressing our own feelings and needs; taking responsibility for other people’s feelings and actions; having trouble setting and maintaining boundaries with authority figures or in professional settings; tending to put other people’s needs before our own; and blaming ourselves for negative or traumatic interactions instead of recognizing and addressing the role of poor boundaries. In this blog, we’ll talk about why healthy boundaries are so important and give some tips on how to set and maintain them.
