Episode notes

fields: I've learned that just like you described there is a very there is a cycle of dopamine and then the like technology that uses intermittent reinforcement that creates almost an addictive behavior pattern. The way that I create boundaries is to literally enable programs that turn off all other connectivity to ensure that I literally have to use technology against technology to enforce my own boundaries yeah you you have to outsmart yourself when I'm writing and so we come full circle as well as it's we come back to our own ability to navigate our own boundaries personally and as well as interpersonally.

We want to hear from YOU! Take our survey.

These last few years have tested our boundaries on nearly every level. Work, friendship, family, community, geography, politics, religion, social issues, love, and well-being. It’s like we’re being asked to draw lines, all day, every day. 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?

Well, my guest today, Nedra Glover Tawwab, can help. A licensed therapist and sought-after relationship expert, she has practiced relationship therapy for 12 years and is the founder and owner of the group therapy practice, Kaleidoscope Counseling. Every day she helps people create healthy relationships by teaching them how to implement boundaries. Her philosophy is that a lack of boundaries and assertiveness underlie most relationship issues, and her gift is helping people create healthy relationships with themselves and others. Nedra is also the author of the New York Times Bestselling book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself, and The Set Boundaries Workbook: Practical Exercises for Understanding Your Needs and Setting Healthy Limits.
