When Attachment Gets Messy: Protecting Boundaries and Yourself

You care about your clients — maybe too much sometimes. You catch yourself thinking about them on weekends, wanting to “help” a little extra, or dreading the day they leave therapy. That’s not weakness, that’s being human. But when attachment sneaks into the therapy room unchecked, boundaries blur, ethics wobble, and your license can end up on the line.

Module 1

Explore how your attachment style impacts boundaries and risk for over-involvement, with tools to catch red flags early.

Module 2

Learn the difference between empathy and sympathy and practice using empathy to build rapport without rescuing or blurring boundaries.

Module 3

Navigate therapist emotions at termination, process endings with empathy, protect boundaries, and create rituals for healthy closure.
