Stop Being the Therapist Friend – Boundaries for the Over-Giver

This is for the friend who checks on everyone and goes to bed empty.

You’re the one they text at 2am.

“You always know what to say.”

“I don’t know what I’d do without you.”

But when you feel like breaking,

you scroll through your contacts and realise

there’s no one you feel safe saying, “I’m not okay” to.

This book is for that version of you.

Inside, you’ll find:

• honest pages that make you feel deeply seen, not “too sensitive”
• why you became the therapist friend in the first place
• when caring quietly turns into self-erasing
• gentle boundary scripts for texts, calls and late-night “can we talk?” messages
• guidance on building relationships where you’re held too, not just needed

This isn’t about becoming cold or cutting everyone off.

It’s about staying soft without breaking yourself to hold everyone else together.
