- Hold clear, compassionate boundaries and frames that reduce rupture and increase safety.
- Respond to crisis contact, self-harm disclosures and risk without abandoning the therapeutic relationship.
- Use ACT and validation-based strategies to build distress capacity and values-led action.
- Notice and work with your own activation, so you can stay steady and avoid burnout.
