S1 Ep9: 9. BOUNDARIES! How to Identify, Set, and Defend Them


Listen Later

All the cool kids (aka, Instagram therapists) are talking about boundaries... which means that while most people who come into our offices have heard of boundaries and know that they should have them, there is a lot of confusion around actually doing the damn thing. 

If you've ever wondered:

  • What in the world are boundaries, anyway? 
  • Which boundaries should I have? 
  • How do I set a boundary? 
  • Do I actually have to tell other people what my boundaries are?? (or can I just whisper *boundaries boundaries boundaries*, blink three times, and do the I-Dream-of-Jeanie nod and we're good?) 
  • And if boundaries are so magical, why doesn't my (spouse / boss / self) respect them when I set them?
  • You're in the right place! We'll not only fill you in on the basics, but share our personal experiences with boundaries, too. Andrea doesn't hold back when talking about the hardest person for her to set boundaries with (HERSELF), and Jessica gets real when discussing a recent moment where she was defending her boundaries... unnecessarily. Plus, we pour one out for the other pop-psychology buzzwords that have come into and out of favor (we're looking at you, self-care); leaving group chats as a cop-out way of communicating boundaries; and how we've been socialized as women to not set boundaries in the first place. 

    If you're ready to feel more responsive to your own needs and empowered in your relationships with other people, this episode is for you!
