Now that we’ve broken down boundary myths and how to make a boundary, we deep dive into practical examples of how to manage boundaries in real-time. We need to understand the other person's “why” for resisting our boundary. Look for the “turbulence” you feel, it’s a clue about what is important to you. We all know stress is inevitable in relationship, so why not learn ways to be pro-active instead of reactive to these stressors? This week we learn lessons from TalkDoc for how to carefully plan responses to boundary resistors in our lives.  To be kind to our relationships we need to give others a manual for how to treat us. We need to understand why others break our boundaries in order to plan and reduce relationships stress. Remember being clear is kind! The key here is to focus on what you need NOT on how the other person should behave.
