Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuide

In order to meet our own needs, we sometimes cross boundaries and compromise other people’s needs, even if we don’t mean to or aren’t aware of the fact we’re doing it. In this episode we discuss what we need to be aware of to meet our needs without compromising anyone else’s and how by doing so we actually protect and support our own needs too.


In this episode, we cover…

  • Why just because something doesn’t compromise our needs, doesn’t mean that it won’t negatively impact someone else’s
  • Why it’s important not to make assumptions about what affects/doesn’t affect others
  • We give examples of this in different contexts
  • A reminder that our intention doesn’t matter, the impact is what matters
  • The importance of checking in with people about what’s acceptable to them
  • Why crossing people’s boundaries can have a severe impact
  • Why being aware of the language we use matters
  • The importance of consent and respecting people’s boundaries
  • How, through the principle of interconnectedness, compromising someone else’s needs to meet our own, impacts our needs too
  • We give examples of how to ask for consent when supporting someone
