Addiction Makes Three

30 - Why boundaries matter way more than we think


Listen Later

Boundaries, they are the gift that gives, but also... can have us tripping up over ourselves and have us in a tale spin of confusion.


Have you ever felt guilty for setting boundaries? Or wondered why the ones you set don’t seem to stick? In this episode we’re diving deep into boundaries—what they are, why they matter, and how to set them in a way that actually works.


Or maybe you were like me 5 years ago.... no boundaries and just no idea where to even start?! Don't worry, we are going to chat about it.


When you love someone struggling with addiction, boundaries can feel confusing. You might start with trying to control or manipulate under the guise of a boundary... or maybe you'll go down the request and then annoyance path like me. Or perhaps just hope, hope, hope things will get better and behaviour will change and you won't need to set a boundary (also me)


You may worry that setting limits means pushing them away when it's the last thing you actually want to do, or that following through will create more conflict. But healthy boundaries aren’t about controlling others—they’re about protecting your peace, your energy, and your well-being.


This conversation will help you understand boundaries on a whole new level, giving you the confidence to create ones that honour both your needs and your values.


Boundaries allow you to stay in relationships that matter to you and it's about saying what is absolutely ok with you as well as what isn't.
