The Lack of Boundaries Can Hurt Your Business

You might be surprised to learn that one of the most common reasons that psychologists will lose their licenses is that they have sex with clients. You see, many clients come into therapy with evil, and share intimate details of their lives with the therapist, are vulnerable. If the psychologist has no boundaries and professionalism, the two become closer emotionally, they move into the arena without considering the physical consequences of doing so.

There are many areas that the therapist or a business owner needs to protect healthy boundaries that are not in distress. For example, personal communication is an acceptable therapeutic tactics, but in the wrong hands, too much or the wrong information can form the basis for a therapist when the client decides to use this for the wrong reason to injure or therapist.

Boundaries are like fences. Think of a big football field. After the game all run into the ground and there is chaos. If you live your life as a football field there are times when others take advantage of you and do not know where it ends and begins. Over time, you may resent the way they move in their lives and help themselves to whatever they need, whatever their needs.

Now, consider building a life that is surrounded by cement blocks broadly similar to those used to build schools or gyms. These keep everyone out and stop you from having relationships with others that you are blocked from all possible interactions. It’s a way to live alone.

Finally, imagine you are sitting on the terrace, the front yard. Around the property is a beautiful white fence surrounds the property and custody of animals and young children. It can be seen on the picket lines and at the top of the fence to get a good view of what is happening in the world. There is a door at the end of the bridge. Note that the handle of the door is inside the fence. This means you can open and close the door for others to come and go as you choose to do so.
