MSQs

1. Nandita is an athlete who has the habit of consuming alcohol whenever she feels

stressed. At the start of every month, she decides to quit but fails. She keeps

postponing the decision, even though she feels miserable about it. What are some

steps she can adopt to break this habit cycle?

● Nandita can downplay or ignore the negative impact of alcohol

consumption on her physical and mental well-being.

● Nandita can surround herself with friends, family, or support groups

who understand her struggle and provide encouragement that can

help her stay accountable and motivated.

● Nandita can fall into the trap of seeking instant solutions or relying on

unproven methods to break the habit.

● Nandita can continue to convince herself that quitting alcohol can be

delayed, further perpetuating the habit cycle.

● Nandita can set achievable goals with a shorter and more realistic

time frame to track her progress, celebrating even small victories

along the way.

 ● Nandita can consult a therapist or addiction counselor who can

provide guidance, support, and strategies to overcome the habit.

(Nandita can surround herself with friends, family, or support groups who understand her

struggle and provide encouragement that can help her stay accountable and motivated.

Having a strong support system will make Nandita feel less isolated in her journey to

break the habit. Nandita can consult a therapist or addiction counselor who can provide

professional guidance and support to help her break the habit. These experts can help

Nandita understand the root causes of her alcohol consumption and work on building

healthier habits. Nandita can also set achievable goals with a shorter, more realistic time

frame to track her progress, celebrating even small victories. This approach allows her to

make gradual changes and build confidence in her ability to overcome the habit. On the

other hand, downplaying or ignoring the negative impact of alcohol consumption, seeking

instant solutions, or postponing the decision to quit will likely hinder her progress and

perpetuate the habit cycle. Nandita needs to be proactive, seek support, and set realistic

goals to break the habit successfully.)

2. Which among the following options are essential lessons from the story of “The

Patient”?

● Good and bad habits are formed by peer group influence and the

environment.

● Friends can only induce bad habits in a person.

● Doctors can be the real culprits in developing bad habits in patients.

● Money and status can determine whether a habit is good or bad.

● Individual perception and belief are pertinent in retaining a good

habit and changing a bad habit.

 ● Repercussions of bad habits will decrease if shared with a friend.

(The lesson learned from this story of “The Patient” from Lecture 14 is that peer groups

and environmental factors can influence good and bad habits. The people around us and

our surroundings play a significant role in shaping our behaviors and forming habits.

However, the crucial difference lies in the individual’s perception and belief system. The

doctor, who encouraged his friend to start smoking in the past and is partially responsible

for his health condition, later realized the harmful effects of the habit and made a

conscious decision to give it up. Nonetheless, the patient, who started smoking under peer

influence, lacked the firm belief and value system necessary to break free from the habit.

The story underscores the importance of willpower and a strong belief system in

overcoming bad habits and positively changing one’s life. It serves as a cautionary

reminder of the potential risks associated with bad habits and the need for personal

determination to change and adopt a healthy lifestyle.)

3. Antony is a social media influencer who portrays himself as a peace lover and makes

videos about non-violence. In reality, he is abusive. Kartik, a fan of Antony, gets the

opportunity to meet him at a restaurant but is surprised by how rudely Antony treats

the staff. Kartik grasps the idea that having a different private personality is

acceptable as long as Antony does not perpetuate these traits and habits publicly.

Kartik eventually may develop this habit himself, and this shows the potential of

social media in creating a facade. What are the messages that one can imbibe from

this situation?

● Failing to recognize the importance of aligning one’s actions and values in both

private and public life promotes personal growth, integrity, and the development

of positive habits.
 ● Critically evaluating the personas presented on social media can help

individuals make informed choices and avoid being influenced by deceptive

facades.

● Believing that it is acceptable to have different private and public

personalities can lead to a lack of authenticity and unethical behavior.

● Dismissing the influence of public figures and role models in shaping

behavior undermines their impact on others and the potential for negative

habits to be normalized.

● Accepting the ability to have a different private personality as long as one

maintains a positive public image regards the importance of integrity and the need

to keep public and private lives separate.

● Taking responsibility for one’s actions and continuously reflecting on

personal behavior can lead to self-improvement and the formation of positive

habits.

(The situation with Antony, the social media influencer, and Kartik, his fan, conveys

several important messages. First, aligning one’s actions and values in both private and

public life is crucial for personal growth and integrity. Kartik’s realization of Antony’s

actual behavior underscores the importance of authenticity and ethical conduct in all

aspects of life. Second, critically evaluating the personas presented on social media can

help individuals make informed choices and avoid being influenced by deceptive facades.

It serves as a reminder to be cautious when idealizing public figures without really

understanding the person behind the screen. However, accepting the idea of having

different private and public personalities can lead to a lack of authenticity and may

promote unethical behavior. Consistency and integrity should be upheld across all

domains of life. Finally, taking responsibility for one’s actions and reflecting on personal
behavior can lead to self-improvement and positive habits. This situation highlights the

significance of self-awareness and continuous growth for individuals to lead fulfilling and

genuine lives.)

4. Which among the following statements are true about habits?

● They are behavioral responses to stimuli.

● They are hereditary.

● They are always easy to break or change.

● They can be formed through repetition.

● They are only related to physical actions, not thoughts or emotions.

● They are always conscious and deliberate actions.

(Habits are behavioral responses to stimuli that are formed through repetition. They are

not hereditary. Breaking or changing habits can be difficult, as they are deeply ingrained

in our behavior and often require conscious effort and consistent practice to modify.

Habits encompass many actions, including physical behaviors, thought patterns, and

emotional responses. Some habits are conscious and deliberate, and we actively engage in

them, while others form unconsciously. Understanding the nature of habits can help

individuals make informed choices about their behaviors, work towards positive changes,

and develop greater self-awareness in managing their actions and reactions.)

5. Identify the statements that are TRUE with respect to habits.

● Habits can be both beneficial and detrimental, depending on their

nature and impact on one’s life.

● Habits have no impact on an individual’s overall well-being, productivity,

or success in life.
 ● Habits can be consciously developed and modified through self-

awareness and intentional effort.

● Habits have the potential to be changed or replaced with new ones

through focused intention and perseverance.

● Genetic factors solely determine habits and cannot be influenced by

personal choices or external circumstances.

● All habits are inherently bad and must be completely eradicated for

personal growth and improvement.

(Habits play a significant role in shaping our lives, and their impact can be positive and

negative. Some habits contribute to our well-being, productivity, and success, while

others may hinder our growth and development. Recognizing the influence of habits on

our lives allows us to assess and modify them through self-awareness and intentional

effort consciously. By understanding the power of habits, we can work towards

cultivating beneficial ones and breaking free from detrimental ones. Changing habits

requires focused intention and perseverance, as it may take work to break long-standing

patterns. However, the potential for personal growth and improvement lies in identifying

and transforming habits that no longer serve our best interests. It is crucial to recognize

their impact and cultivate habits that align with our goals and values.)

6. Anu is an employee in a highly competitive industry where job security is a concern.

She wants to secure her position and make herself indispensable to her organization.

Which of the following actions would be effective in achieving her goal?

● Constantly updating her skills and knowledge to stay relevant in her field.

● Engaging in office politics and forming alliances to fight against deserving

colleagues and secure her position.

 ● Proactively seeking feedback and implementing constructive criticism to

enhance her performance.

● Resisting any changes or improvements suggested by her superiors to maintain the

status quo.

● Seeking job security through unethical practices or compromising her values.

● Taking on additional responsibilities and projects even at the expense of her

mental and physical well-being.

(To secure her position and make herself indispensable to her organization, Anu must

constantly update her skills and knowledge to stay relevant in her field. Proactively

seeking feedback and implementing constructive criticism can help her improve her

performance and add value to her role. Engaging in office politics or compromising her

values would have negative long-term consequences and may not be sustainable for her

career. Resisting changes and taking on excessive responsibilities may hinder her growth

and impact her well-being. Ethical practices and healthy work-life balance are essential

for long-term success and job security.)

7. Mahendra has a significantly large number of emails in his inbox, causing him to feel

overwhelmed and anxious. In an attempt to improve his productivity and mental state,

he decides to take action. Which of the following actions are likely to have a positive

impact on Mahendra?

● Mahendra randomly deletes a few emails from his inbox without reviewing their

content.

● Mahendra marks all emails in his inbox as unread for fun.

● Mahendra spends a significant amount of time meticulously organizing his

inbox into folders based on various criteria.

 ● Mahendra ignores his inbox entirely and focuses on other tasks, hoping the

problem will resolve itself.

● Mahendra sets specific time slots throughout the day dedicated solely to

managing his email.

● Mahendra prints out all his emails but fails to read them.

(Mahendra can effectively handle his emails without feeling overwhelmed by allocating

focused time to address his inbox. This approach allows him to stay organized, respond to

important messages, and reduce the anxiety of an overflowing inbox. Meticulously

organizing the inbox into folders will also be helpful. However, randomly deleting emails

without reviewing them, marking emails as unread for fun, or living in denial about the

inbox will not address the issue and may lead to further stress and chaos. Similarly,

printing out emails without reading them or ignoring the inbox entirely will not help him

manage the emails efficiently.)

8. Identify the reasons why choosing to form good habits is a habit.

● It enables individuals to make intentional choices and prioritize their well-

being and success.

● It is too challenging and unrealistic to maintain, as breaking bad habits is nearly

impossible.

● It fosters a sense of accountability and responsibility toward one’s goals and

aspirations.

● It restricts freedom and limits one’s ability to explore new experiences and

opportunities.

● It requires consistent practice and repetition to internalize the desired

behavior.
 ● It requires no effort or consistency, as good habits come naturally to individuals.

(Forming good habits is a habit driven by several compelling reasons. First and foremost,

choosing to adopt positive behaviors allows individuals to make intentional decisions that

prioritize their overall well-being and success. Individuals can enhance their physical

health, mental clarity, and overall productivity by consciously incorporating beneficial

habits into their daily routines. Developing good habits fosters a sense of accountability

and responsibility toward one’s goals and aspirations. It empowers individuals to take

ownership of their actions, encouraging them to stay committed and focused on achieving

their objectives. However, it is essential to acknowledge that forming good habits is not

effortless. It requires consistent practice and repetition to internalize the desired

behaviors, ensuring they become ingrained responses in various situations. Through this

continuous effort and commitment, individuals can cultivate a positive lifestyle that

ultimately leads to personal growth and fulfillment.)

9. Why is the regular consumption of teleserials discouraged?

• They can be emotionally draining and stressful.

• They promote addictive behavior and can consume a lot of viewer’s time.

• They can negatively impact one’s mental health.

• They can interfere with one’s personal growth and productivity.

• They always provide complete closure and resolution, which can be mentally

satisfying.

• They are the most intellectually stimulating form of entertainment and contribute

significantly to knowledge enhancement.

(The regular consumption of teleserials is discouraged for several reasons. They can be

emotionally draining and stressful due to their intense and emotionally charged storylines.

Binge-watching multiple episodes can lead to emotional exhaustion and increased stress

levels. Teleserials are designed to be addictive, leading to excessive time spent watching

and a neglect of other important activities. The negative impact on mental health is a

concern, as excessive viewing can contribute to decreased sleep, heightened anxiety, and

reduced real-world social interactions, potentially leading to mental health issues like

depression and loneliness. Time spent watching teleserials can interfere with personal

growth and productivity, as it takes away from engaging in more constructive and

fulfilling activities. They are not intellectually stimulating and do not contribute to

knowledge enhancement. It is essential to balance entertainment consumption and

prioritize activities that contribute positively to mental well-being and personal growth.)

10. Abhi and Sai are best friends. They spend a lot of time together and have a powerful

influence over each other. Choose the sustainable methods through which they can

contribute productively to each other’s habit formation.

● They can provide constructive feedback and gentle reminders when either of

them deviates from their desired habits, helping each other stay on track.

● They can ridicule and mock each other’s attempts at forming new habits, creating

a demotivating and unsupportive environment.

● They can openly communicate their goals and aspirations, sharing insights,

tips, and resources that can aid in forming habits.

● They can compete with each other to see who can develop more habits, fostering

an unhealthy sense of rivalry.

 ● They can engage in healthy activities together, such as exercising, cooking

nutritious meals, or practicing mindfulness, which can inspire and reinforce

positive habits.

● They can celebrate each other’s successes and milestones, creating a positive

and encouraging environment that reinforces the formation of new habits.

(The sustainable methods through which Abhi and Sai can contribute productively to each

other’s habit formation are by providing constructive feedback and gentle reminders,

openly communicating about their goals and aspirations, and engaging in healthy

activities together. By offering support and encouragement, sharing insights, and

participating in positive activities as a team, they can reinforce each other’s commitment

to developing good habits. To the contrary, ridiculing and competing with each other may

lead to a demotivating and unhealthy environment, hindering their habit formation

progress. Celebrating each other’s successes and milestones can create a positive and

encouraging atmosphere, strengthening their resolve to maintain their desired habits and

promoting a healthy, supportive friendship.)

MCQs

11. Satyavati has noticed some negative patterns in her life and wants to identify her bad

habits to make positive changes. Which option can help Satyavati recognize her

unhealthy habits?

● Reflecting on her daily routines and behaviors to identify patterns that lead

to negative outcomes.

● Ignoring the negative consequences of her actions and continuing with her current

habits.
 ● Engaging in self-destructive behavior.

● Blaming external factors or other people for her negative habits without taking

personal responsibility.

● Seeking validation from friends with similar unhealthy habits to justify her

behaviors.

● Comparing herself to others and dismissing her own bad habits as “not as bad” in

comparison.

(Reflecting on her daily routines and behaviors to identify patterns that lead to adverse

outcomes can help Satyavati recognize her unhealthy habits. This process of self-

reflection allows her to become more aware of the actions and behaviors that may be

contributing to negative patterns in her life. By examining her routines and behaviors, she

can pinpoint specific habits detrimental to her well-being, make informed decisions to

make positive changes and break free from those negative patterns. She needs to take

personal responsibility and avoid the tendencies of blaming external factors, seeking

validation from others with similar unhealthy habits, or dismissing her bad habits

compared to others. Self-awareness and reflection are vital in identifying and

transforming negative habits into positive ones.)

12. Which of the following statements about dopamine is true?

● It is not involved in motivation, goal-setting, or other non-addictive

behaviors.

● It cannot be influenced by external factors such as stress, drugs, and

experiences.

● It will function in the same way whether you use a good or bad

habit to induce it.

 ● It only affects the brain’s pleasure centers and does not impact other

brain functions.

● Its amount released is the same regardless of the behavior or activity

that triggers it.

● It is a hormone, not a neurotransmitter.

(Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in the brain’s reward system. It

is released in response to various activities, behaviors, or substances, whether they are

positive or negative. Dopamine can reinforce those behaviors whether someone engages

in a healthy and beneficial or unhealthy and detrimental habit. That is why positive and

negative habits can become reinforced and potentially addictive, as the brain associates

the dopamine release with the actions that trigger it.)

13. Nebin is a professional who wants to optimize his productivity and achieve his goals

effectively. Which of the following scenarios align with the principles that will lead

him to success?

• Nebin spends excessive time on tasks that are not aligned with his main goals,

neglecting the important ones.

• Nebin spends most of his time daydreaming and lacks a structured approach to

achieving his goals.

• Nebin keeps a clear priority list, regularly reassesses it, and adjusts his focus

accordingly.

• Nebin believes that investing time in non-essential activities will always lead to

breakthroughs.

• Nebin meticulously plans his day but fails to adapt or reprioritize when

unexpected circumstances arise.

 • Nebin tends to take on too many tasks simultaneously, resulting in a lack of focus

and suboptimal outcomes.

(Nebin’s path to success lies in adopting certain principles that optimize his productivity

and help him achieve his goals effectively. Firstly, he should start each day by identifying

the most important task and focus his energy on completing it first. This prioritization

ensures he tackles high-impact tasks early, setting a solid foundation for the rest of his

day. Nebin should keep a clear priority list and regularly reassess it, adjusting his focus

based on changing circumstances or new opportunities. However, Nebin must be cautious

not to spend excessive time on non-essential activities, which could divert his attention

from crucial tasks. Finally, he should avoid taking on too many tasks simultaneously, as it

can lead to a lack of focus. By aligning with these principles, Nebin can optimize his

productivity, stay on course to achieve his goals, and foster personal and professional

success.)

14. Identify the quote attributed to Charles Noble from the following options.

● “First we make our habits, then our habits make us.”

● “Quality is not an act, it is a habit.”

● “The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.”

● “Character is a long-standing habit.”

● “A nail is driven out by another nail; habit is overcome by habit.”

● “Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.”

(The quote attributed to Charles Noble is, “First we make our habits, then our habits make

us.” The quote by Charles Noble emphasizes the significance of habits in shaping our

lives. It suggests that the habits we develop are not merely isolated actions but play a
fundamental role in shaping who we become. Initially, we consciously choose and build

our habits, but over time, these habits become ingrained in our daily routines and actions.

They become deeply rooted and influence our thoughts, behaviors, character, and

identity.)

15. Rahul is working on a project and suddenly receives an urgent phone call requiring

immediate attention. He has to leave the project incomplete and attend the call. Even

while attending the call, he feels uneasy and disturbed. Which option best explains

Rahul’s experience based on the Zeigarnik effect?

● Rahul’s inability to focus on the project is due to a lack of interest.

● Rahul’s interrupted task creates a sense of tension and mental preoccupation.

● Rahul can quickly abandon the interrupted task and start a new one without any

hesitation.

● Rahul can easily forget the unfinished task, as whatever he is doing now is

important.

● Rahul is feeling disturbed because he is hungry.

● Rahul hates attending calls.

(Rahul’s interrupted task creates a sense of tension and mental preoccupation due to the

Zeigarnik effect. The Zeigarnik effect is the psychological phenomenon where

incomplete or interrupted tasks create mental stress or preoccupation until completion. In

Rahul’s case, being interrupted from his project to attend to an urgent phone call likely

leaves him with unease and distraction as his mind is still preoccupied with the unfinished

task.)
16. Arjun wants to develop a habit of practicing gratitude daily. He struggles to stay

consistent with this habit. Which of the following options SHOULD NOT be

practiced by him to reinforce gratitude in his life?

● Keep a gratitude journal and write down three things he’s grateful for each day.

● Express gratitude to others through thank-you notes or kind gestures.

● Practice mindfulness and focus on appreciating the present moment and what it

offers.

● Surround himself with people who constantly complain.

● Find silver linings in all situations and challenges.

● Start each day with a positive affirmation related to gratitude.

(Arjun should not surround himself with people who constantly complain if he

wants to reinforce gratitude. Being around individuals who continuously complain

can create a hostile and ungrateful atmosphere, making it difficult for him to stay

focused on cultivating gratitude. Instead, he should seek the company of positive

and grateful individuals who can inspire and support his journey toward practicing

gratitude daily.)

17. Identify the author of the following quotation: “Sometimes not getting what you want

is a wonderful stroke of luck.”

● Mother Teresa

● The Dalai Lama

● Walt Disney

● Plato

● Satyajit Ray

● Rabindranath Tagore
(The quotation, “Sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck,” is

attributed to the Dalai Lama. This part reflects the idea that sometimes when we don’t get

what we desire, it may truly be a blessing in disguise. It suggests that some outcomes or

situations may lead us to better opportunities or prevent us from harmful paths, even if we

might not realize it initially. It encourages a positive and hopeful perspective, reminding

us to be open to unexpected changes and trust in the potential for good things from

seemingly disappointing or unfavorable circumstances.)

18. Midhuna has recently gone through a breakup and desires to forget her former partner.

Identify the action she should AVOID to achieve a sense of completion and peace of

mind.

● Get rid of the things that remind her of her partner.

● Think about all the good times they have had together.

● Engage in activities she enjoys.

● Spend time with friends.

● Create a to-do list.

● Travel to places she has never been before.

(Midhuna should avoid dwelling on all the good times she had with her former

partner to achieve a sense of completion and peace of mind after a breakup.

Instead of constantly thinking about the past, she can focus on engaging in

activities she enjoys, spending quality time with friends, creating a to-do list to

stay productive, and exploring new places through travel. By embracing self-care,

personal growth, and new experiences, Midhuna can gradually heal and move

forward, eventually finding a sense of closure and peace in her life.)

19. Aneeta has the habit of leaving the dishes unwashed after using them. They have

accumulated over time, inviting cockroaches and other pests. Which among the

following options is NOT compromised here due to this bad habit of Aneeta?

● Discipline

● Personal Hygiene

● Responsibility

● Self-accountability

● Apathy

● Integrity

(Aneeta’s habit of leaving the dishes unwashed after using them severely affects various

aspects of her conduct. It shows a lack of discipline as she fails to follow a fundamental

practice of cleaning up after herself. This also impacts personal hygiene as the

accumulated unwashed dishes attract pests and compromise the cleanliness of her living

space. Additionally, her habit reflects a lack of responsibility and self-accountability as

she does not take ownership of maintaining a clean environment. Her habit could be seen

as a compromise on integrity as it goes against one personal values of cleanliness one

should possess. The one option not compromised due to her habit is apathy, which relates

to a lack of interest or concern and is not directly aligned with the reasons for leaving the

dishes unwashed.)

20. Sudha has been struggling with anxiety and wants to develop a habit that promotes

better mental health. What habit can Sudha cultivate to support her mental well-

being?

● Playing video games every day and watching an OTT series at night.
 ● Engaging in excessive alcohol consumption as a means of temporarily escaping

anxiety symptoms.

● Isolating herself from social interactions and avoiding any form of human

connection.

● Establishing a consistent sleep routine and ensuring adequate rest.

● Distracting herself from anxious thoughts by excessive engagement with social

media or video games.

● Neglecting self-care activities, such as proper nutrition and personal hygiene, due

to anxiety-related difficulties.

(Establishing a consistent sleep routine and prioritizing self-care activities, such as proper

nutrition and personal hygiene, are also essential habits that can contribute positively to

Sudha’s mental health and overall well-being. Proper rest can contribute to her overall

well-being and can help her attain a sense of calm and focus, which will eventually

benefit her mental health. Nevertheless, options like excessive alcohol consumption,

isolating oneself from social interactions, and excessive engagement with social media or

video games are counterproductive and may worsen anxiety symptoms.)

T/F

21. Jagannath is a driver who does not use a seatbelt while driving. He believes this is not

a bad habit, as not doing anything does not fall under a habit. Jagannath is right.

True

False

(Not using a seatbelt while driving is indeed a bad habit. Habits can include actions and

inactions. Not using a seatbelt falls under the habit category. Not wearing a seatbelt while

driving is a dangerous practice that can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities in the
event of an accident. It is essential to develop the habit of wearing a seatbelt for the safety

and well-being of oneself and others on the road.)

22. Dopamine is known as the motivation molecule.

True

False

(Dopamine is often called the “motivation molecule” because it is crucial in motivation,

reward, and reinforcement. It is a neurotransmitter that functions as a chemical messenger

in the brain, influencing various aspects of behavior, including motivation, pleasure, and

learning. When we engage in rewarding or pleasurable activities, dopamine is released in

the brain, reinforcing those behaviors and motivating us to seek similar experiences in the

future.)

23. Shankar believes that powerful change in one’s life is possible only if you have

enough money for it. Shankar has an accurate understanding of reality.

True

False

(While sufficient financial resources can undoubtedly facilitate certain changes and

opportunities in life, it is not the only factor determining powerful change. Numerous

other aspects play significant roles in shaping one’s life and facilitating personal growth,

such as determination, skills, mindset, support systems, and the ability to adapt to

circumstances.)

24. Ameena and Farha are friends who also work together. Ameena is a disciplined

person who believes that Farha’s actions can have no effect on her. Farha, however,

believes that Ameena’s inclination towards maintaining good habits is useless and
 constantly makes fun of her for following a consistent plan in her life. Ameena and

Farha have a healthy relationship.

True

False

(While it is common for friends to have differing perspectives and approaches to life,

constant mockery and belittling of each other’s choices can create tension and hurt

feelings. Farha should respect Ameena’s disciplined nature and belief in the power of

good habits. In a healthy friendship, both individuals should feel supported, understood,

and accepted for who they are, even if they have different ways of approaching life. Open

communication and mutual respect are essential for nurturing a strong and positive bond

between friends.)

25. Beena is a therapist who has the habit of working long hours. She thinks it is

permissible as she is helping other people to improve their mental health. This is

wrong as Beena should practice self-awareness and take care of her health.

True

False

(Beena’s belief that working long hours is permissible because she is helping others

improve their mental health can be problematic. While her dedication to her profession

and the desire to help others are commendable, neglecting her well-being can lead to

burnout and impact her ability to provide adequate care to her clients in the long run. As a

therapist, Beena must practice self-awareness, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care to

maintain her mental, emotional, and physical health. Only by caring for herself can she

continue to be a compassionate and effective therapist for her clients.)
