From Crisis to Connection - with Geoff & Jody Steurer

Beyond Boundaries - with Taylor Chambers - Episode 273


Listen Later

I need to share important context and corrections regarding the episode recorded with Taylor Chambers.

After receiving feedback from insightful listeners, I realized that the conversation on boundaries lacked critical distinctions about different stages of recovery from betrayal trauma.

This addendum addresses:

  1. The essential differences between early-stage recovery (focused on safety and stabilization) and later-stage recovery (focused on mutual connection).
  2. Why context matters deeply when discussing boundaries, especially for relationships with histories of abuse, coercion, or power imbalances.
  3. Acknowledgment of the harm that could arise from missing these nuances and my commitment to greater clarity in the future.
  4. If you’ve already listened to the original episode, I encourage you to check out this update to ensure the information resonates with your unique recovery journey. As always, take what works for you and leave the rest.

    Thank you to the thoughtful listeners who helped me make this correction. Your feedback is invaluable in creating safe, supportive resources for all.

    Boundaries have been a hot topic recently, mostly in relation to setting boundaries to protect your own peace. But in the context of recovering from unwanted addictions, boundaries are essential in keeping certain behaviors at bay and staying within a framework that aids in recovery. In this episode, we welcome Taylor Chambers, a licensed marriage and family therapist with extensive experience in treating unwanted pornography use and other mental health issues. Join us as we discuss healthy boundaries to support personal well-being and relationship dynamics.

    About Taylor Chambers:
    Taylor Chambers is a licensed marriage and family therapist and sexual health coach with over a decade of experience working with a wide variety of mental health and relationship problems.

    One of Taylor’s areas of speciality is treating unwanted porn use through sex-positive, systemic, and self-development perspectives. He draws from various evidence-based clinical models, spiritual traditions, philosophy, and the humanities to look beyond symptoms, to heal underlying issues, and to renovate worldviews.

    In his downtime, Taylor dreams up stories he never seems to write and gets outside… sometimes. His happy place is inside any book and the Shikoku pilgrimage is on his bucket list.

    More than anything, Taylor is a husband and father. His family means the world to him.
