and secondary trauma is that boundaries are an important part of creating a work/life balance. These

boundaries are an essential part of self-care (Corey, et al., 2018).

ourselves so that we can take care of others. We know that burnout and fatigue

affects our overall health. A counselor cannot be at their best and effectively provide

services to others when they are not healthy themselves.
