7. Professional Boundaries for Substance Abuse Counselors and Clinicians
When we talk about professional boundaries, we are referring to the ethical guidelines and expectations that a professional uses to guide their everyday interactions with the client’s and families that they serve. It is necessary for the clinician to clarify their role at the beginning of the therapeutic relationship so that the boundaries are clear. Why might we want to make this clear from the beginning?

15. Myth of the Wounded Healer
THE PARADOX OF ONE WHO HEALS AND YET REMAINS WOUNDED LIES AT THE HEART OF THE MYSTERY OF HEALING

16. The Wounded Healer
“The Wounded Healer” was one of the most important archetypes identified by Carl Jung. He viewed Chiron as the ultimate example of how we can all overcome the pain of our own suffering by becoming compassionate teachers and show others how they too can transcend their own pain. You see the wounded healer is someone who has gone through great suffering and learned from the experience.
