812. Psychotherapist Terri Cole On Boundaries & Its Relationship To Codependency, How To Stop Saying Yes And Creating Your Proactive Boundary Plan

Terri is a licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, business owner, and author. Over her long and varied career, she has helped her clients repair disordered, or in some cases, nonexistent boundaries. It can be intimidating to create limits and let go of relationships that no longer serve us, or as Terri calls them, historical handcuffs. In today’s episode, we discuss sustainable ways to empower yourself through boundaries. We also talk about the benefits of having boundaries, how to slowly add them into your life, and ways to shift your mindset around codependent relationships. Terri also shares details of her new book Boundary Boss: The Essential Guide to Talk True, Be Seen, and (Finally) Live Free, and how her Boundary Bootcamp inspired her to put her findings in writing. 

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

• How Terri transitioned from the entertainment industry to psychotherapy

• Coping with the fear surrounding setting boundaries 
• The relationship between codependency and boundaries 
• How to stop saying ‘yes’ to everything (especially when you want to say ‘no’)
