hey guys, this is going to be something technical abt SW. I rem I wanna use this blog to remember & journal Lucas growing up, and right now, I am gg to use it to remember and journal my growth as a social worker. Maybe 2-3 years down the road, I will laugh at my own thoughts. N maybe even use it to encourage new social workers!!!!!!!! =)
Took time off and went out with Kris today... Guess what we talked about.. SW stuff lo.. Sometimes I feel paisay to talk to them about SW, its like talking about work during off. But I guess we all need the space to talk and bounce ideas off..
What came out very strongly to me as we talk is really about boundary. How should we define our boundary and what should be the basis as we define our boundary? Perhaps this is my main struggle. Its actually comforting to know that Kris also struggles with it.
She was frustrated with her colleague who called her on her off day saying her client wanna speak to her. I cannot empathise with her frustration.Until, i receive a call from my client. I unwittingly gave my hp no. away to my youth once when i called her with my hp.. hmmm.. when i received her call, I felt stress up and i know that I was stress because I felt my muscles tensed up and breathing faster. Its like.. "oh no, work.." It was then I realised that boundary is for protection.
But then again, what is the standard for me to define my boundary with my clients? Do i use a different measure to define a different boundary with my youth clients?
