563. What Are You Using To Build Boundaries – Love or Fear?


Listen Later

Are you building healthy boundaries, or putting up restricting walls? With the former taking center stage amongst the collective, it’s an important question to ask. 

This episode was inspired by the journey Krista’s been on to have deep and real intimacy in her relationships – a growing desire to untangle defensive mechanisms that create negative static between people and move toward a more heart-centered exchange with the people in and around her life. 

The truth is that some forms of boundary building have evolved into a method for gaslighting ourselves, a means to create a cozy victimhood to hide away in, an excuse for closing ourselves off from things, situations, or people that may expand us.

We also talk about:

  • A different angle of boundary building 
  • What boundaries are meant to be
  • Honesty and open heartedness
  • Building walls makes a victim 
  • How to receive a boundary
  • The need for control
  • Wall building instance from Krista’s life
  • Good friction between two people
  • Bad examples from The Hills
  • Leaning into love and connectedness
  • Resources:
