556 Stop Feeling Guilty for Setting Boundaries

Visit https://boundarybossworkbook.com/ to order the brand new boundary workbook that I mentioned in today's episode! When you say “no” to someone, do you often feel immense guilt afterward? Or do you second-guess your boundaries after setting them? I have seen a lot of my therapy clients sacrifice their boundaries due to guilt. But letting guilt sabotage our efforts to have healthy boundaries is a one-way ticket to Bitter Town. Boundaries are meant to protect ourselves and our relationships. They deepen our connections. Yet, many of us still feel guilty for having and enforcing boundaries. This episode is about deepening our understanding of post-boundary setting guilt. I talk about what you can do to combat it, how to tell if it is actually guilt you are feeling, and when feeling guilty may be appropriate.
