This happened to me when I took on my very first participant. Got too lenient and became a people pleaser. I would get lasts minute requests, do everything iโm ask, listen to uncomfortable conversation and burned out. Now I know how important strong boundaries are in this industry.

How wonderful for someone to think about us support workers. We are just as important as the participants.๐

I am a people pleaser, however I now think before I do, so Iโve started listening to my brain and body, I have been able to set boundaries very well if you canโt therapy can help with that at least it did with me.
