A few years ago, I applied to have my mental health professional profile put up on Psychology Today. I filled out the form and put in my credit card. And they said no.

Because Core Energetics isn’t as well recognized as other mental health modalities, they wouldn’t recognize me as a student. But they said that when I graduated, if I also had a bachelor’s degree in psychology or something related, then perhaps I could be recognized.

I’m a deeply spiritual person, but sometimes I pretend I’m not. I used to pretend when I was at networking events full of lawyers and judges for the non-profit organization I worked for. And recently I realized that I was pretending not to be spiritual on social media and with you, my newsletter community.

What do time, money, and energy have in common? They are all protected by healthy boundaries.

Here are some examples:

• • PROTECTING MONEY: If you buy a charging cable from Amazon and it doesn’t work, return it.
  • PROTECTING TIME: If a friend asks you to meet for lunch Friday and you have a super busy week already, postpone it to another week.
  • PROTECTING ENERGY: Take the time to find a movie both you and your partner or friend want to watch. Don’t be willing to watch a scary movie that’s going to keep you up or give you bad dreams.

So if you don’t have enough time, money or energy, it’s probably because there’s some area of your life where you could use healthier boundaries.

The holiday season is the Boundaries Olympics. There are events with family and friends and office parties and all sorts of situations where you get to say YES, NO or MAYBE.

And this season is going to be even more intense in some ways because we have the pandemic and everyone has different needs and values around that.

A lot of my clients have been struggling with over-giving lately, so I wanted to share a little more about what it is and how to begin to heal it.

There’s generosity and then there’s over-giving. With generosity, you’ll feel excited, loving, or passionate. 

With over-giving, you might feel good about helping out a friend but you’ll also feel drained, frazzled, or overwhelmed.
