75. Your First 3 Steps To Boundaries Through & Post Divorce

Listen Later

Join the continues conversation around boundaries through and post divorce. Because divorcing from betrayal and abuse is NOT the same as other divorces. Today I am walking you through 3 first steps to take with boundaries and how these will lay the foundation to further boundary setting steps.

Here are some highlights from the episode:

  • Setting boundaries might feel daunting, especially if your boundaries have been violated in the past.
  • It's essential to prioritize your well-being and start with setting boundaries for yourself before extending them to others.
  • Grounding techniques and sensory practices help in moments of fight, flight, or freeze response, facilitating boundary setting.
  • Safety is paramount and forms the basis for emotional, mental, and physical well-being.
  • Creating safe spaces, like a designated room or area, fosters emotional regulation and empowerment.
  • Identifying healthy support networks and enforcing boundaries within them is crucial for emotional grounding.
  • Boundary setting involves acknowledging past patterns, assessing needs, and discerning what is acceptable in relationships.
  • Emotional boundaries protect your feelings and promote emotional regulation and self-awareness.
  • Shifting the focus from external to internal locus of control empowers you to untangle emotional entanglements.
  • Transactional caring versus genuine care: recognizing the difference is essential for setting emotional boundaries.
  • Observing behavior patterns, responses, and triggers with compassion facilitates boundary setting and emotional healing.
  • Setting self-boundaries around safety, healthy support, and internal locus of control is a transformative step toward an empowered divorce journey.
  • Embracing the difficulty of boundary setting is part of the process and signifies a shift towards self-love and empowerment.
