Your brain is always trying to keep you safe. If you struggle with codependency, you may notice that you want to say the right thing in order to keep your partner from getting mad at you or making you feel bad for your thoughts/feelings/boundaries. This coping mechanism has kept you safe in the past - but what happens when this strategy stops working?

This week, I'll discuss:

• Why you want to say the right thing
• When it doesn't work
• What to DO when saying the right thing stops working

Healthy boundaries can save your relationship and even save your life. The problem is, you have no idea what your boundaries are, let alone how to set them. Many try and fail because of how their partner reacts to their boundaries. Join me for Boundary Week - you’ll learn how to identify your boundary, communicate it to your partner (the right way), and follow through no matter how your partner reacts to it. 

To register, text “boundary week” to 971-257-1615 or visit karilynivers.com/boundaryweek.
