Setting Boundaries
In this episode, the importance of setting boundaries in relationships is discussed. The host explains that while we cannot control other people and their behavior, we have the power to control our own reactions. The concept of setting boundaries involves letting others know how we will respond when they engage in certain behaviors. For example, if a friend consistently becomes drunk and belligerent during social outings, we can express that we enjoy spending time with them but will choose to leave if their behavior reaches a certain point. Setting boundaries allows us to assert our needs and values without attempting to change the other person, fostering healthier communication and relationships.
