Do not DM me to drop your traumatic experiences on me and/or to push me to perform emotional labor for you.

That’s so rude & piss poor boundaries. I have a full time therapy job + other obligations. I am not a machine whose job it is to make you feel good. I’m a tired human.

And most of y’all want this labor for free. Again, I am a therapist. I’m not your therapist. If I didn’t agree to it with an intake & signed paperwork, you are engaging in nonconsenual behavior when y’all pour your pain into my DMs. I’m not obligated to be a vessel for EVERYONE.

I take at least 30 mins alone at the end of the day so I don’t bring any of “the work” home to my fam. Boundaries are my best friends & if y’all want me to keep being able to do this work for y’all for the rest of my life...y’all need to learn some boundaries & respect mine.

If you want links/resources, I can send links or I can ask the TL.

But asking me to let you vent, asking me to clinically assess your situation, and/or dropping your trauma on me as a way to make you feel better is not appropriate.

And check my website. Maybe I already wrote about your situation. Anything else requires specific personal attention that I cannot give you.
