About This Training
Boundaries are more than rules — they’re relational.
In this 3-hour live Zoom training, Dr. Fiona O’Farrell (they/them) guides clinicians through an experiential exploration of professional boundaries across clinical, supervisory, and organizational relationships.
Rooted in anti-oppressive practice and Lovewell’s trauma-informed andragogy, this workshop helps you define your role and navigate real-world boundary gray zones with more clarity. You’ll learn how identity, positionality, culture, and nervous-system responses influence clinical agreements — and how to respond ethically when navigating boundaries.
This training fulfills the Washington State Department of Health's continuing-education requirement for Professional Roles and Boundaries and also counts toward ethics CE for AASECT and NBCC.
