“If you have a lack of self awareness around what your boundaries are, you may not be able to be proactive about them – because you only know them when someone steps over them.” – Terri Cole
Intro
Do you ever wonder why setting boundaries feels like a struggle?
Why it is difficult to speak up when you have something to say?
Or why it can feel impossible to set a limit when you don’t want to do something?
If you are nodding your head, this episode is for you. I am giving you the top five boundary blocks I have seen in my 25+ years as a psychotherapist and suggesting ways to overcome them.
Highlights:
- 3:10 The ancient survival instincts that make rejection so scary
- 6:43 Incomplete awareness of your own boundaries makes it difficult to set them
- 10:20 Guilt and obligation can prevent you from feeling like you deserve your boundaries
- 14:00 Honest communication requires you to become comfortable with conflict
- 19:00 Confidence comes naturally with building your boundary-setting skills
