Episode notes

I think the challege therapeutically, is everything is on fire. It's not just that you are working 80 hours, it's your working 80 hours. You have a terrible relationship with your brother. Your mother hasn't talked to you in four weeks. You can't keep a partner. Your laundry is so there are so many things. Even in a system that you can't change, there are many other things in life that you might be able to change so you can stand this system that you want to be ine.

This has been a year that has tested our boundaries on nearly every level. Work, friendship, family, community, geography, politics, religion, social issues, love, and wellbeing. Even our own inner boundaries with technology. It’s like we’re being asked to draw lines, all day, every day. And, our ability to do just that, well, it just may mean the difference between peace and calamity.

Question is, how? How do you create and uphold boundaries that are clear, healthy, and constructive, while also acknowledging the nuance, kindness, and understanding this moment demands? That’s what we’re diving into in today’s special compilation episode on boundaries, featuring key elements of conversations we’ve had with therapists, bestselling authors, and boundary experts, Nedra Glover Tawwab and Terri Cole. You’re going to want to take notes on this episode, what you learn may not only help breathe more easily and reclaim space and peace, it just might also change your life.
