| Summary: | This study examined how Christian Counsellors with a calling manage their work–non-work boundaries. A calling offers satisfaction, meaning and purpose but can lead to overwork.

Maintaining balance required deliberate attention and giving oneself permission, and strategies were learned over time. |
