ISO Advice for Setting Boundaries with Clients
I’m a new therapist looking for advice on how to handle this reoccurring situation. I’ve loved the job so far and feel confident in my abilities, until it comes to setting uncomfortable boundaries. I’m fine upholding boundaries around things like the cancellation policy and rules for contact outside of sessions, but I’m struggling with setting boundaries with certain clients, specifically, older white men. They refer to me as “sweetheart” or “young lady” and idk how to shut that down, especially since I let go the first few sessions, which I know was a mistake.
