In the helping professions, compassion can sometimes lead to over functioning—crossing ethical lines and inadvertently undermining client autonomy.

This engaging workshop examines how overextending on behalf of clients, though well-intentioned, can create dependency, clinician burnout, and blurred boundaries. Through real-world case scenarios and peer dialogue, participants will learn to recognize over functioning, re-center client empowerment, and implement sustainable strategies that align with ethical standards and long-term client well-being.
