Highly Sensitive, Happily Married

Psychological Boundaries For More Closeness


Listen Later

188  Developing healthy boundaries is an absolutely essential part of having a great intimate relationship, especially as highly sensitive people.They are a way to take care of yourself, each other, and the relationship.  

I teach 3 types of boundaries, and today we are diving into the 2 psychological, or energetic types of boundaries: Protection boundaries, and containment boundaries. (Please listen to episode 51 for Relationship Boundary Basics.)

When you use these kinds of boundaries skillfully, you will be able to create more closeness in your relationship, and leave beyond patterns and behaviors that create extra division, conflict,  and animosity.

The thing is, many HSPs are a bit weak in these particular boundaries. So let’s change that starting now! 

Dive in to hear what these two types of boundaries are, whether or not you need to strengthen them for yourself, and how and when to implement them. 

For each type, you will hear 2 or 3 tips to grow stronger boundaries (including two visualizations you can use over and over again), so you can feel less pain, resentment, and regret, and be more skillful at communicating and connecting with your partner. 

Listen in.
