When we want to stay in relationship with people who have hurt us, it's important for us to figure out a way to connect with them in a way that keeps us open hearted and also protected.

But how, exactly, can we show up open heartedly in ways that also protect us and keep us safe?  

That's where open hearted and loving boundaries come in.  In this episode we explore:

• 1:00  How can I make the implicit explicit?
• 12:00  It takes discipline to focus on what's working
• 16:13  I feel exhausted and hurt by my sister's behavior.  How can I make it better?
• 22:09  What does a healthy relationship look like?
• 30:27  What open hearted boundaries can sound like
• 36:24  We get to choose who we let into our lives
