Congratulations!! You have healthy boundaries at work!!
Stop right there, and give yourself on a pat on the back!
That's a huge accomplishment! It's not easy to set and maintain healthy boundaries at work.
Having healthy boundaries is essential for highly sensitive social workers and other helping professions to stay well and prevent burnout. When you have healthy boundaries at work, your sensitive strengths shine through and your sensitivity becomes a superpower.

Since you already have healthy boundaries established, you're in a great place to adopt some additional burnout prevention skills. ​
