About This Training

Boundaries are more than rules — they’re relational, embodied, cultural, and deeply shaped by power.

In this 3-hour live Zoom training, Dr. Fiona O’Farrell (they/them) guides clinicians through an experiential, trauma-informed 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 navigate real-world boundary gray zones with more clarity, consent, and integrity. You’ll learn how identity, positionality, culture, and nervous-system responses shape boundaries — and how to respond ethically when harm or rupture occurs.

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.
