Boundaries in an Ethical Massage Practice CE Package
A Continuing Education Package worth 12 NCBTMB-Approved CE Hours by Anne Williams and Eric Brown
CE Package Description
Boundaries are the limits we place on other people’s behaviors to protect our personal space. If we are good at setting boundaries, people know how to treat us in ways that feel respectful and satisfying. If our boundaries are weak, we often feel annoyed, anxious, or drained after interactions with family, friends, work colleagues, and clients.
Have you ever loaned someone money, let them stay in your house, or helped them move when you really didn’t want to do these things? Have you ever listened politely to unwanted advice from a family member, or kept quiet when a friend is late for lunch (again)? Do you regularly leave the massage clinic feeling irritable and exhausted? If you answer “yes” to any of these questions then this package is for you.
This package includes one digital textbook and three CE courses taken in order. These courses never expire, so you can complete each course (4 hours of CE each) in the CE reporting years you choose. You can link to more information about each product or purchase products separately from the links. You get:
