“Being in a healthy relationship means that you can feel both free and securely tethered. You’re allowed to be yourself– To dress the way you want, to do what you want.” – Terri Cole
Intro
A few weeks ago, Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend, Sarah Brady, shared a bunch of text messages he sent her when they were dating. Among them was the above list of “boundaries.” As you can imagine, this stirred up a lot of discussion online.
I fell into a Reddit hole about it and was stunned by the amount of misinformation out there about boundaries. People are truly unaware of the differences between coercion, abuse, effective boundaries, and control, which is what this episode is about.
I also talk about the signs of coercive control to watch for and why the Jonah Hill situation is more manipulative than it may seem.
Highlights:
- 4:00 What boundaries are and why demands aren’t boundaries
- 8:43 The hallmarks of coercive control
- 9:20 Threats and fear of harm
- 11:30 Humiliation
- 12:20 Isolation
- 13:40 Monitoring
- 15:40 Financial control
- 16:00 Sexual coercion
- 19:00 In a healthy relationship, you feel free to be yourself
