We need boundaries. In fact, you might have already set some of your own. But ask yourself: how often do you let those boundaries crumble?
It’s not unusual for professionals in high-stakes industries to give in to other people’s demands, even if it means losing the boundaries they set. That’s not healthy — so why do we do it?
In this Quick Dip, we explore the challenges doctors and other professionals face when trying to enforce their boundaries. The problem isn’t in knowing when to say no or what boundaries to put up. We delve into various real-life scenarios and discuss how power language can help reinforce boundaries effectively.
Stay tuned to this episode if you want to know the problem with boundaries and how to overcome it.
