Ep. 10 | Boundaries

Welcome to our second panel discussion on the topic of boundaries. I am delighted to be joined by three experienced therapists, and PCI lecturers, Martin Rice, Mark Maguire and Margaret O Connor. We take a detailed look at boundaries and the theory versus reality of both setting, and maintaining boundaries. This includes the first session and contracting, but can also present in very subtle ways throughout the work. We talk about the extra challenge of maintaining boundaries in long term work and the impact of Covid and technology. Importantly, we highlight how boundaries are not about being defensive or confrontational, but facilitate the relationship, the therapeutic work and the safety of both therapist and client. I hope you find the discussion useful.
