Most of us were never taught how to effectively express our preferences, desires, or deal- breakers. Instead, we hide our feelings behind passive-aggressive behavior, deny our own truths, or push our emotions down until we get depressed or so frustrated that we explode, potentially destroying hard-won trust and relationships. BUT, the most successful and satisfied people on the planet have one thing in common: the ability to create and communicate clear, healthy boundaries. This ability is, hands down, the biggest game changer when it comes to building a healthy, happy, self-determined life.
Our guest, Terri Cole, is a psychotherapist, and author of Boundary Boss, which teaches a specific set of skills that can help you stop abandoning yourself for the sake of others (without guilt or drama) and consciously become empowered in every aspect of your emotional, physical, personal, and professional life. She has made it her mission to teach as many women as possible to establish and maintain effective boundaries with ease and create and sustain healthy, vibrant relationships.
In this episode we explore:
•boundaries, and why they matter
•codependency, and how to recognize and heal it
•Recognizing your “downloaded boundary blueprint”
•How to effectively express our preferences, desires, and dealbreaker’s
•Remembering that “we always have a choice”
•High Functioning Codependency (HFC) and the boundary challenges it creates
