Fear of Not Doing Enough and Developing an Unshakeable Assurance
The biggest threat to your feeling of not doing enough to help your client’s suffering isn’t your client. It’s YOU.
If you are so afraid of the feeling therapist guilt, that you:
1) Go over your allotted time for each session
2) Over explain why time is up to soften the blow
3) Extend the session beyond what is sustainable
4) Ignore bathroom breaks/skipping lunch breaks
5) Try to fix and patch things up before the end of session
Let’s be clear.. you’re not being kind, considerate, or generous. You’re slowly killing your therapeutic practice. Your guilt is getting in the way of you practicing your healing gifts fully. You are taking yourself out before you even get a chance for anyone to show any backlash.
The first step to disarming therapist guilt or inadequacies?
Deepen your relationship to your worst fear if the scariest thing happened.
What if your client was so mad at you for ending the session on time? What if your client perceived that you were a selfish and cold person?
Let me show you how to do that. Do the courageous work when you put yourself out there and take care of your needs. Prioritize your health. Stick to your boundaries of ending the sessions on time. Tune in and find out!
