Minding Your Mind

Our boundaries are limits we set that establish what we are comfortable with, and what we aren’t. Boundaries can be physical, emotional, sexual, or time-based (e.g. no work/study on Saturdays). How do we work out what our boundaries are? How do we communicate them to others? What should we do if someone violates them?

It’s nice to help others, but if you find it hard to say "no" whenever someone asks you to do something, you might be a habitual people pleaser, who puts their own needs second, third or even last. Why are some of us people pleasers? What should we do if we are?

It’s good to try to do a task as well as you can, but when you spend an hour rewriting one sentence, things might have gone too far. Are you a perfectionist? If so, should you address it? How can you change?

What is dissociation? It occurs when we become emotionally detached from our surroundings. Some get it when public speaking, and feel like they are outside their body, removed from what is happening. Why does dissociation happen, and who does it happen to?
