Empath UP

015: How to set boundaries and follow them


Listen Later

Boundaries. One of the biggest problems empaths and highly sensitive people face. It’s a tough one. We’re emotional magnets. People come to us for help, advice, a shoulder to cry on… and this also means that they bring a lot of emotions with them that we then absorb.  

If you’re a sensitive person then you very well maybe that person that others bring their problems and baggage to. You might feel that you wouldn’t want to limit that. You’re good at it so shouldn’t you share that ability with as many people as need it? 🚨Wee-woo wee-woo 🚨. Wrong. If you don’t set up good boundaries now, you may just be setting yourself up for a rocky road ahead. (Been there. Done that. 10/10 do NOT recommend). 

Soooo… we’ve established that you need good boundaries, but how do you know if you already have them or not? Fear not, we’ve got you covered. In this episode, we cover how to tell how strong your boundaries are, the 5-step method for better boundaries, HOW to set boundaries, plus ways to keep them up. Whether you think you have good boundaries or you know they could use some work, this episode is for you!
