14: Importance of Setting Boundaries DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast

    • How To

“I admit that I’m a recovering people pleaser. In that recovery process, I thought, ‘something is wrong, I feel irritated by what this person just said to me. But I can’t seem to stop it because I’m here to serve. Therefore it’s okay, I’ll just tolerate what is happening.’ And it could be any number of examples, whether it was patients, colleagues, or even at home.  I wasn’t terribly good at setting boundaries. And it became clear that it was exhausting, and really not a very self honoring situation to be in. So I had to learn how to to do it. It is not a skill I was born with. I don’t know if it’s a skill anyone is born with, and to be honest it is something you need to cultivate over time.” - Coach Gabriella Dennery MD
