Box 10.3A reflection on reasons for saying no (Mayo, 2013)• Saying no isn’t selfish. Saying no to a new commitment is honoring yourexisting obligations and can make certain that you can devote highquality time to them. Quality of life is as important to the therapist’swellbeing as it is to the client.• Always saying yes isn’t healthy. When you are overcommitted and undera lot of stress, you may feel run-down which can contribute to gettingsick.• Saying yes can cut others out. By saying no, you give the opportunity toother therapists or care providers. This can build your and your client’sinterprofessional network.Learning to say no appropriately is an important part of managing professionalboundaries and managing your stress-load. Take into account the followingguidelines when deciding what is best for you (Mayo Clinic 2013):• Weigh your obligations and priorities before making any new commitments. Ifthe new client will benefit from your work, and your schedule will allow, thenschedule them in. If not, refer out.• Weigh time commitment demands. Is the new client a short- or long-termcommitment? For example, if the healthcare team feels therapeutic scarmanagement is needed for 6 weeks, can you accommodate the client weeklyfor that amount of time? If the client is long term – 6 months or more – canyou make arrangements for the amount of time to properly care for the client’sneeds? This includes any paperwork involved in the patient’s care. Don’t sayyes if it will mean months of burdensome stress. Your burnout serves no goodpurpose.• Guilt should not be part of the equation. Don’t agree to a take on a new clientout of guilt or obligation. Agreeing will likely lead to additional stress and
