Ever wondered how therapists maintain boundaries while genuinely caring for their clients? Dr. Galit Birk reveals the delicate balance in this illuminating conversation about mental health, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.
As founder of Core Counseling and Wellness, Dr. Birk (affectionately known as "Dr. G") shares her unexpected journey from aspiring trauma specialist to relationship counseling expert. Rather than forcing a predetermined specialty, she allowed her true calling to emerge organically. "They always say when you're going through school that your specialty will find you," she explains, noting how couples counseling chose her rather than the other way around.
The conversation explores the challenging yet crucial practice of setting healthy boundaries in both professional and personal life. Dr. Birk offers practical wisdom about communicating limits clearly and then—most importantly—honoring them yourself. Her approach to women's empowerment coaching similarly emphasizes giving women permission to prioritize themselves, something many struggle with in our busy world.
What truly sets Dr. Birk apart is her commitment to authentic connection. From posting morning videos with bedhead to acknowledging when she makes mistakes with clients, she embodies the "perfectly imperfect" philosophy she teaches. This transparency creates deeper trust with clients and followers alike. Her recent 50th birthday catalyzed a powerful shift—turning someday dreams into today's reality through a book project, business expansion, and even her first tattoo that reads "so she did."
