All Things Private Practice Podcast
You May Have to Quit Your Job
"If you're going to stay in community base or residential treatment, that im helkdo advocate for yourself," she says. "I didn't have so um boldness to just quit and sayng, i'm not doing it any more." Some phonicians aren't able to do that because of fear of ours, fou rejection. But at the same time, if you can work with a supervisor like mine, or whoever else like you like, your getting a different experience than what you probably would get in other jobs.
Setting healthy boundaries is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
In this episode, I talk with Latasha Matthews, a boundaries expert, about embracing changes in the seasons of your life and updating boundaries to match them, how childhood trauma can affect the way you position your boundaries, how boundaries impact and are impacted by relationships, the importance of creating space for nothingness, and more.
Latasha shares stories about her own shifting and evolving boundaries and how it has impacted her life journey.
