How does Dr. Anna define personal boundaries and why are they essential for mental‑health professionals?
In order for me to be able to support other people, I had to learn about who I was and what I needed and what I didn't need and where my boundaries were and where our limits are. I have to constantly remind myself that I am not my vulnerabilities, right? That I am not my fears. I am not my failures, but I am everything that came out of that.
Dr. Anna Barron is a resilient, purpose-driven mental health practitioner, entrepreneur, and the founder of Barron Psych. Drawing from her journey as an immigrant and years of community leadership, she empowers others to lead with courage, live by their values, and create meaningful, lasting impact.
The industry glorifies the work, right? I think the industry sometimes wants it to look easy, but sitting with people's pain for eight to 10 hours a day, that seeps into your soul.
And
so you have to know how to care for yourself. For a long time, I've also prioritized medical practitioners. It's because they're the ones that are giving help to everybody else and yet.
It spans the globe like a super high school internet. Elvis Presley. Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy.
That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Open. Chicago with the lead. Usain Bolt is the fastest man on the planet. You can live.
Hey, welcome back everyone to another episode of Living Your Legacy Podcast. I'm your host again, Jay Slangen, and we're down here in the new podcast setup looking all nice and snazzy, but we have a special guest today. Yes, please introduce yourself. You're a mompreneur, right? What's your name?
Where are you
from? And what do you do?
My name is Dr. Anna Baron, and I am from Rhode Island, and I own a boutique mental health group practice called Baron Psych. We provide support and treatment to adults, children, and families, and I also consult with other entrepreneurs and mental health practitioners into developing their businesses.
Yeah. So my my wife really got me into, you know, the importance of knowing personalities and the psychology. Right. And we got really into kind of like the Myers Briggs personality
type. Right.
Yeah. How accurate do you think those are?
What role do personality assessments like Myers‑Briggs play in understanding clients and providers?
I think that. Over time, we evolve and we develop. And I think that depending on when you take it, it really reflects that developmental stage of your life. If you retake it and it continues to present in the same way, then it sometimes can be very consistent. But if you change and your core features adapt over time, it can look a bit different. So I think it's very useful for the purposes of understanding who you are and in the way that you relate to others and it informs your relationships. But to say that that is who you're going to stay your entire life, I think that is limiting.
Yeah, yeah. But basically, for those people that don't understand, it's kind of breaking down people's personalities into 16 different types, right? Correct. Yeah. So when you're swiping through Tinder, and then you see someone put ENFJ or something
like that, right?
INTJ or whatever. Yeah. Those are the Myers-Briggs personality types, right?
That's
correct. Uh, me, I am a ENFJ. My wife's a INTP. So she's kind of very rare, but she gets into her head and she likes to think and, uh, she's very smart. Right. And yeah, me, ENFJ is kind of like, I got a lot of heart, I guess, right? I wear my heart on my sleeves
and I'm a very
emotional guy. But actually, it's kind of helped me, you know? And I think about people's personality types, right?
Reading people's personality
types. But mental health, right?
In
today's day and age, it's such an important thing, you know? Oh, it absolutely is. And it seems to be kind of at the forefront of, you know, the social media conversation, right? People are trying to be like, you know, the influences that are just like discover your inner peace, right?
If it were that
easy. Yeah. But yeah, I mean, it just seems like in the age of social media, right?
When
it's just like so much at us and it can get so, life can get so busy, right?
