Full course information
This session equips participants to discern clients amenable to flexible boundaries and grasp the fluidity of these limits. A deep understanding of countertransference becomes crucial, unraveling the complex interplay between therapists’ emotional responses and the calibration of boundaries.
The discourse extends beyond initial boundary establishment, delving into the delicate art of boundary reaffirmation amid treatment enactments. As therapists, we encounter the intricate task of reinstating limits once relaxed, necessitating finesse in maintaining therapeutic rapport while reinstating necessary boundaries.
In essence, the complex process of delineating therapeutic boundaries challenges therapists on multiple levels. Grasping our clients’ needs for adaptable boundaries, navigating the sway of countertransference, and deftly re-establishing boundaries demand keen discernment into client dynamics and therapists’ introspection. Negotiating these complexities is essential not only to maintain therapeutic efficacy but also to uphold the ethical and professional fabric of the therapeutic relationship.
- How do we decide whether to use email, texts or phone calls outside of therapy?
- When should we increase sessions in length or frequency?
- And when do these boundaries need to be limited?
Participants will learn which clients benefit from some flexibility and which do not. We will also explore countertransference issues of caretaking, rescue, guilt and urgency that may influence the decision -making process of the therapist regarding boundaries.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify which clients might benefit from boundary flexibility, and what types of boundaries can be altered, and how countertransference can affect their decisions about boundaries
- Discuss how to re-assert boundaries within therapeutic settings
