Boundaries are not about building walls, they're about building bridges to healthier relationships.
Ever feel like your personal boundaries are more like suggestions than rules? In this episode of 'The Sober Therapist SoberSoul Recovery Podcast', host Lynn Matti tackles the tricky topic of boundaries and why they matter so much. Lynn, a clinical mental health therapist, dives into the nitty-gritty of how to recognize unhealthy boundaries and what it takes to set better ones. With her usual blend of professional wisdom and personal anecdotes, she breaks down the concept into bite-sized, relatable pieces.
Lynn starts by explaining how poor boundaries develop and the toll they take on our wellbeing. She introduces the idea that 'expectations are premeditated resentments', a phrase that really hits home for anyone who's ever felt let down by others. From there, she categorizes boundaries into three types: porous, rigid, and healthy. Each type has its own set of challenges and benefits, and Lynn offers practical advice on how to navigate these different scenarios.
One standout moment is when Lynn shares a Brene Brown exercise designed to help listeners visualize their boundaries. This isn't just theoretical mumbo jumbo; it's a hands-on activity that can make a real difference. Lynn emphasizes that setting boundaries is a negotiation, but you can't start negotiating until you know where your lines are. For those who struggle with codependency or fear of rejection, this episode is a treasure trove of actionable tips.
Lynn's approach is both empathetic and empowering, making it clear that healthy boundaries are essential for personal growth and maintaining healthy relationships. Whether you're looking to improve your relationships or just want to understand yourself better, this episode offers valuable insights and practical steps to help you build stronger, healthier boundaries.
