What to expect in this episode: Fuzzy boundaries, what they are and how they manifest. What boundaries require. How to identify the sources of unclear boundaries. How to establish boundaries without always having to talk about it. How to consistently practice good boundaries.
We also ask: Why do we need boundaries? Why are boundaries harder to maintain than they used to be? Let’s say we follow the principles and values about maintaining boundaries, but we’re not always working with healthy people in the first place. Aren’t we putting ourselves at risk to some extent between us and the people we’re putting a boundary up to?
What about personal boundaries? Are they any different than setting structure, creating habits and patterns for ourselves?
