Setting boundaries is a fundamental aspect of maintaining overall health and wellness, especially for those living with chronic pain and illness. Think of boundaries as the invisible lines that protect your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. When you set clear boundaries, you’re essentially telling yourself and others what you need to feel safe, respected, and understood. This is crucial because chronic conditions often demand extra care and attention, making it even more important to prioritize your needs.

One of the key benefits of setting boundaries is stress reduction. Chronic pain and illness can already be incredibly taxing, and adding unnecessary stress can exacerbate symptoms. By clearly communicating your limits, whether it’s about your time, energy, or emotional capacity, you can avoid overextending yourself. This not only helps you manage your condition more effectively but also allows you to conserve energy for the things that truly matter to you. Remember, it’s okay to say no and prioritize your health.

Moreover, setting boundaries fosters healthier relationships. When you openly communicate your needs and limitations, it encourages mutual respect and understanding. This can lead to more supportive and meaningful connections, whether with family, friends, or colleagues. It’s important to remember that boundary-setting is not about creating distance or being selfish; it’s about ensuring that your interactions are balanced and respectful. By taking care of yourself first, you’re in a better position to engage with others in a positive and constructive way. So, take that step to establish boundaries—your overall health and wellness will thank you.

What I do:

Hi, I'm Vickie Ge**er, therapist and co-owner of Polaris Partners Counseling and Consulting in Fort Collins, CO. I provide mental health and wellness counseling to adults and older adolescents, offering compassion and empowerment. It is my mission to help you find meaning in your suffering; freedom the shackles of depression, anxiety, and addiction; and love for yourself for sustainable, long-term mental wellness and recovery. Specializing in work with chronic pain management, I aim to help alleviate suffering from chronic pain symptoms and help you reclaim your life - enjoying activities, engaging in healthy and supportive relationships, and improving your overall outlook. I offer groups and individual sessions to help you reach your goals for mind, body, and soul healing. Discover what it's like to live free from the grip of pain and take control of your destiny.

I also specialize in work with addictions and work closely with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

In addition to drawing from a number of different traditional psychotherapy theories and methods, I am also certified to provide Acudetox - a 5-point auricular (ear) acupunture protocol. Initially designed to help those with opioid dependence ease withdrawal symptoms, this protocol as been shown to also help ease chronic pain, stress, trauma, and sleep disorder symptoms, as well. I provide this treatment in conjunction with individual therapy at no additional cost, or as a part of group therapy, and stand-alone Acudetox groups. Please see my website for more details on services, I look forward to hearing from you, soon! Vickie Ge**er, LPC, CACII, ADS
