On holding boundaries as part of self-care

4/3/2018

0 Comments

 
Today's discussion in Refilling The Cup, the online course on self-care for doulas, inspired me to share this quote from Poonam Dreyfus-Pai, who's deputy director at All-Options, and who was the speaker for the January Full-Spectrum Doula Circle:

"Boundaries aren't there to fence me in or keep people out, but actually to allow me to interact with the world and to interact with things that I love with flexibility and with grace."

    ​Full-Spectrum Doula Circle

    Doulas traditionally provide
    ​
    non-medical, empowering support for birth. Full-spectrum doulas provide the same kind of support for the
    full spectrum of pregnancy outcomes, including abortion.


    We do this to create a culture of compassion, love, and justice in which all people have the freedom and resources they need to make free choices about their bodies and their families.

    Full-Spectrum Doula Circle connects abortion/full-spectrum doulas and other reproductive support people
    with information, education, and each other, to increase skills, decrease burnout, and deepen our wells of support,
    with an emphasis on providing digital resources to connect doulas who are geographically dispersed.
