The 6 career trap: becoming everyone’s emotional support
You can accidentally become the unpaid therapist at work.
Boundary scripts:
- “I want to support you, but I can’t take this on. Here’s who can help.”
- “I’m available for this conversation for 15 minutes, then I need to get back to work.”
- “Let’s put this in a process so it doesn’t rely on me.”
A simple 90-day plan
Weeks 1–2: define what you own (scope) and what you don’t.
Weeks 3–6: improve one system that reduces stress for people (intake, onboarding, scheduling, communication).
Weeks 7–10: document your impact (before/after metrics, testimonials, outcomes).
Weeks 11–12: renegotiate workload or pay based on that impact.
Connect the dots
