Keeping our professional boundaries can be a real challenge in our profession.
We spend a lot of time with our patients. They are often really cool people.
And we're discussing intimate topics about their lives they may only talk about with really close friends.
Pelvic PT Rising: The pelvic health tools to make you a better clinician and/or a more successful business owner. We want every single pelvic health practitioner to be more confident and successful in your practice and career!
Clinical Courses: Game-changing online courses to make you more confident, challenge your thinking and improve patient outcomes
Business Resources: Helping 500+ pelvic health practitioners confidently start, grow and build their dream business!
We should certainly still have fun. Laugh. Make a connection with our patients.
But when they cross over into the 'friend zone' we often struggle to provide the same level of care. It's a challenge for all of us, but we have to recognize when we're acting more like a friend than a clinician.
We can shy away from challenging patients we get too close to. Break boundaries by communicating outside of our sessions. Worry more about being liked than about providing the highest level of care. Or even just allow the conversation to stray from clinical topics to more personal ones.
If you're struggling with a few patients who are closing in on the 'friend zone', make sure to check out this 'sode!
As Nicole said in the full episode:
"It can happen to anyone, but can happen more if they are the same age or same life circumstances..." - Nicole Cozean
