ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Saying no sounds simple—until you're sitting across from a client, responding to a colleague, talking with a supervisor, or trying not to disappoint someone who needs you.
In this episode of Supervision Simplified, Dr. Amy Parks explores why so many mental health professionals struggle with boundaries—not because they don't care, but because they were never taught how to hold them under real-world pressure.
You'll learn:
- Why guilt is often the biggest barrier to healthy boundaries.
- The four places clinicians most commonly struggle to say no.
- How supervisors can model healthy boundaries instead of unintentionally reinforcing burnout.
- Practical strategies you can begin using immediately.
Whether you're a therapist, counselor, psychologist, social worker, supervisor, or other mental health professional, this episode will help you build healthier boundaries, reduce burnout, and care for others without sacrificing yourself.
