Setting boundaries in personal relationships as a therapist can feel uncomfortable, but it is important. 💬

Knowing how to communicate your role with friends and family can help protect your well-being. Consider phrases like:
💛 “I’m here to listen as your friend/partner, not as a therapist.”
💛 “Have you thought about talking to someone professionally about this?”
💛 “As someone who loves you, I think this needs more than I can offer as a friend.”

Maintaining healthy boundaries can support your mental health and prevent burnout.
